And pity as they tell's akin to love.

What comfort is for me, my Lord Asander,

Who love one so exalted in estate

That all return of honourable love

Were hopeless, as if I should dare to raise

My eyes to Cæsar's self? What comfort have I,

If lately I have heard this man I love

Communing with his soul, when none seemed near,

Betray a heart flung prostrate at the feet
