By lawless love and lust,

By dreadful danger of the life,

By faith that is unjust,

Justice. Ah gift of Jove, Ah Fortune’s face,

Ah state of steady life!

I Justice am, and prince of peers,

The end of laws and strife:

A guider of the common weal,

A guardian[181] to the poor;

And yet hath filthy lust suppress’d
