To have my own way now, unblamed by all.

It does so happen (I rejoice for it)

This most unhoped-for issue cuts the knot.

There 's not a better way of settling claims

Than this; God sends the accident express:

And were it for my subjects' good, no more,

'T were best thus ordered. I am thankful now,

Mute, passive, acquiescent. I receive,

And bless God simply, or should almost fear

To walk so smoothly to my ends at last.
