Nor can, thus guilty to mine own offence!

Where both have done amiss, both will relent:

He will forgive that needs must be forgiven.

Mordred. A likely thing, your faults must make you friends;

What sets you both at odds must join you both.

Think well, he casts already for revenge,

And how to plague us both. I know his law;

A judge severe to us, mild to himself.

What then avails you to return too late,

When you have passed too far? You feed vain hopes.
