Earth could not hold us both, nor can one Heaven

Contain my deadliest enemy and me!

My father, say not thus! Florinda cried;

I have forgiven him! I have pray’d for him!

For him, for thee, and for myself I pour

One constant prayer to Heaven! In passion then

She knelt, and bending back, with arms and face

Raised toward the sky, the supplicant exclaim’d,

Redeemer, heal his heart! It is the grief

Which festers there that hath bewilder’d him!
