Their woes are ended. Ere thou camest hither

The king was here; and in his kindest mood

Granted their liberty.

Fer.Thy prayers, lady,

Must be the sweetest incense that from earth

Perfumes God’s mercy-seat: He bends to soften

The heart that thou beseechest.

Al.Stay, ’tis thus.

They are given to me to grace my bridal.
