Whose icy current and compulsive course
Neer knows retiring ebb, but keeps due on
To the Propontic and the Hellespont,
Even so my bloody thoughts with violent pace
Shall neer look back, neer ebb to humble love,
Till that a capable and wide revenge
Swallow them up.”

Its color passion but its neck a question.”
