But from his euils by hast’ned death to passe.

Come you poore people tir’de with ceasles plaints

With teares and sighes make mournfull sacrifice

On Isis altars: not our selues to saue,

But soften Cæsar and him piteous make

To vs, his pray: that so his lenitie

May change our death into captiuitie.

Strange are the euils the fates on vs haue brought,

O but alas! how farre more strange the cause!

Loue, loue (alas, who euer would haue thought?)
