Abandoned first by you.

Vict. Oh cruel man!

Where, at what moment did that change begin,

With which you tax my violated vows?

I left your lawless power, to put myself

Into a father's chains, my lawful tyrant.

If this be my upbraided crime, even this,

On that occasion, would I do once more:

But could I, with my honour, safe have staid

In your dear arms, bear witness, heaven and earth,
