Are answers sought, and destinies foretold:

Propitious oracles are begged with vows,

And crowns that grow upon the sacred boughs[75].

Your subjects, while you weigh the nation's fate,

Suspend to both their doubtful love or hate.

Choose only, sir, that so they may possess

With their own peace their children's happiness.
