Married by this: The Prince is fierce and eager in's desires, Impatient of delay. Out of particular respect He stood engaged to repay your merits. The Contents Of that will speak, how much he tenders goodness In every noble breast. It's that you'd be pleased t'accept A life, for which to's Piety you shall owe, Only a fair acknowledgement.

My Lord! the City's in a mutiny, The Court in wild distraction. Valenzo plays from the Castle with his Canons, And strikes both parties without distinction: He's now marching up with a well ordered troop, T'is thought he had intelligence of your intents.
