Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey,
Th'Assyrians' king, in peace with foul desire
“ Who scace the name of manhood did retain, Drenchèd in sloth and womanish delight, Feeble of sprite, unpatient of pain, When he had lost his honor and his right (Proud, time of wealth; in storms, appalled with dread) , Murdered himself, to show some manful deed. ”
