Which thou hast saved. Who can resist the gods?

I must obey the law, and touch thy hand

Never again. Yet none shall take from thee

Thy glorious title, captain of my host!

I will provide for thee, and thou shalt dwell

With guards of honour in a house of mine

Always. Damascus never shall forget

What thou hast done! O miserable words

Of crowned impotence! O mockery of power

Given to kings, who cannot even defend
