To thy kind glance alone which sought mine own,

So soon as thou didst with thy gentle touch

Arouse me from the horrors of my dream.

Benedictus:

I am aware that I have found thee now

Fighting a battle for thy very life.

Since I have known full well this long time past

That thus it was appointed us to meet.

Prepare to change the sense of many words

If thou wouldst understand my speech aright
