fray
The second blow makes the fray. [ Proverb ]
The best of men have ever loved repose;
They hate to mingle in the filthy fray;
Where the soul sours, and gradual rancour grows,
Imbitter'd more from peevish day to day. [ Thomson ]
Better come at the latter end of a feast, than the beginning of a fray. [ Proverb ]
