| <A NAME=6>What good condition can a treaty find</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=7>I' the part that is at mercy? Five times, Marcius,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=8>I have fought with thee: so often hast thou beat me,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=9>And wouldst do so, I think, should we encounter</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=10>As often as we eat. By the elements,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=11>If e'er again I meet him beard to beard,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=12>He's mine, or I am his: mine emulation</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=13>Hath not that honour in't it had; for where</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=14>I thought to crush him in an equal force,</A><br> | |
