“From hence, let fierce contending nations know
What dire effects from civil discord flow.”

“And bitter waxed the fray;
Brother with brother spake no word
When they met in the way.”

“That each pull'd different ways with many an oath,
"Arcades ambo," id est—blackguards both.”

“Take but degree away, untune that string,
And, hark, what discord follows! each thing meets
In mere oppugnancy.”

“Believe me, lords, my tender years can tell
Civil dissension is a viperous worm
That gnaws the bowels of the commonwealth.”

“All your strength is in your union
All your danger is in discord;
Therefore be at peace henceforward,
And as brothers live together.”

And that within ourselves we disagree,
How will their grudging stomachs be provoked
To wilful disobedience and rebel!”

“Dissensions, like small streams, are first begun,
Scarce seen they rise, but gather as they run:
So lines that from their parallel decline,
More they proceed the more they still disjoin.”

“Alas! how light a cause may move
Dissension between hearts that love!
Hearts that the world in vain had tried,
And sorrow but more closely tied;
That stood the storm when waves were rough,
Yet in a sunny hour fall off.”

“Discord, a sleepless hag who never dies,
With Snipe-like nose, and Ferret-glowing eyes,
Lean sallow cheeks, long chin with beard supplied,
Poor crackling joints, and wither'd parchment hide,
As if old Drums, worn out with martial din,
Had clubb'd their yellow Heads to form her Skin.”
