As you from crimes would pardon'd be, Let your indulgence set me free.

Cold, indeed, and labour lost: Then, farewell, heat and welcome, frost!

  • Some sins do bear their privilege on earth, And so doth yours: your fault was not your folly; Needs must you lay your heart at his dispose, Subjected tribute to commanding love, Against whose fury and unmatched force The aweless lion could not wage the fight Nor keep his princely heart from Richard's hand.
