118 Magnan' led up in this adventure, And made way for the rest to enter: For he was skilful in black art, No less than he that built the fort, And with an iron mace laid flat A breach, which straight all enter'd at, And in the wooden dungeon found Crowdero laid upon the ground: Him they release from durance base, Restored t' his fiddle and his case, And liberty, his thirsty rage With luscious veng'ance to assuage; For he no sooner was at large, But Trulla straight brought on the charge, And in the self-same limbo put The Knight and Squire, where he was shut; Where leaving them i' th' wretched hole, Their bangs and durance to condole, Confin'd and conjur'd into narrow Enchanted mansion, to know sorrow, In the same order and array Which they advanc'd, they march'd away: But Hudibras, who scorn'd to stoop To fortune, or be said to droop, Cheer'd up himself with ends of verse, And sayings of philosophers. Quoth he, Th' one half of man, his mind, Is, sui juris, unconfined, And cannot be laid by the heels, Whate'er the other moiety feels.
