For I am arm'd so strong in honesty

That they pass by me as the idle wind,

Which I respect not.

By the apostle Paul, shadows to-night

Have struck more terror to the soul of Richard

Than can the substance of ten thousand soldiers.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616): King Richard III. Act v. Sc. 3.

So spake the grisly Terror.

John Milton (1608-1674): Paradise Lost. Book ii. Line 704.
