My liege,| they are not | yet come back.

But I | have spoke | with one | that saw | him

Confessed | his treas|ons, implored | your high|ness' pardon,

And set | forth a | deep re|pentance:

Nothing | in his | life be|came him,

__
Like the | leaving | it. He | died,
(tetra with prev two)

As one | that had | been stud|ied in | his death,

To throw | away | the dear|est thing | he owed,

As 'twere | a care|less trif|le.

That swift|est wing | of rec|ompense | is slow,

More is | thy due,| than more | than all | can

My plent|eous joys,
