      Lines of | fair com/fort and | encour|agement:
             ,         ,       ,      ,         ,
      The wretch|ed, bloo|dy, and | usurp|ing boar,
               ,            ,         ,           ,         ,
      (That spoiled | your sum|mer fields | and fruit|ful vines)

        ,              ,         ,          ,          ,
      Which in | his great|est need | will fly | from him.

      True hope is swift,| and flies | with swal|low's wings,
        T    .   T     T         ,        ,          ,
      Kings it makes gods,| and mean|er creat|ures kings.
