Compulsion, leagued in some mysterious ban

Against one innocent and helpless man,

Abuse their liberty to murder mine:

And sworn to silence, like their masters mute

In heaven, and like them twiring through the mask

Of darkness, answering to all I ask,

Point up to them whose work they execute!

Ros. Ev’n as I thought, some poor unhappy wretch,

By man wrong’d, wretched, unrevenged, as I!

Nay, so much worse than I, as by those chains
