The murderers with savage purpose spared.

'Twere scarce believed that one poor mortal frame

Such agonies could bear e'er death should come.

Thus crushed beneath some ruin lie the dead;

Thus shapeless from the deep are borne the drowned.

Why spoil delight by mutilating thus,

The head of Marius? To please Sulla's heart

That mangled visage must be known to all.
