Question

Sergeant

Yes,
As sparrows eagles, or the hare the lion
Say sooth, I must report they were
As cannons overcharged with double cracks, so they
Doubly redoubled strokes upon the foe
Except they meant to bathe in reeking wounds,
Or memorse another Golgotha,
I cannot tell
But I am faint, my gashes cry for help
