- They are shoutings of a layman expecting the fall of the besieged Jericho, but with no more definite preadvertisement of the policy that should follow the fall than was implied in the fact that the priests who were loudest in blowing the rams' horns for the surrender were Milton's five Presbyterian friends, the Smectymnuans.
