That all thy men,

Piled on thy back, can never pull it down.

But, at my ease, thy destiny I send,

By ceasing from this hour to be thy friend.

Like heaven, I need but only to stand still;

And, not concurring to thy life, I kill.

Thou canst no title to my duty bring;

I am not thy subject, and my soul's thy king.

Farewell! When I am gone,

There's not a star of thine dare stay with thee:
