"Yet by one comfort, Flordelice, is followed His loss, for us that reft of him remain:
His death, with such surpassing glory hallowed, To die all living warriors should be fain.
Those Decii; Curtius, in Rome's forum swallowed;
Cordus, so vaunted by the Grecian train;
Not with more honour to themselves, with more Profit to others, went to death of yore."
