ON THE LORD GENERAL FAIRFAX, AT THE SIEGE OF COLCHESTER.

14 lines
John Milton·1608–1674

airfax, whose name in arms through Europe rings,Filling each mouth with envy or with praise,And all her jealous monarchs with amaze,And rumors loud that daunt remotest kings,Thy firm unshaken virtue ever brings 5Victory home, though new rebellions raiseTheir Hydra heads, and the false North displaysHer broken league to imp their serpent wings.O yet a nobler task awaits thy hand(For what can war but endless war still breed?) 10Till truth and right from violence be freed,And public faith cleared from the shameful brandOf public fraud. In vain doth Valor bleed,While Avarice and Rapine share the land.
