LOVERS RECONCILED

Soon as in rage Celinda had closed her lattice fast

And scorned the Moor ungrateful for his service in the past,

Her passion with reflection turns and in repentance ends;

She longs to see the Moor again and make to him amends;

For in the dance of woman's love through every mood they range

And those whose hearts are truest are given most to change.

And when she saw the gallant knight before the people all

Shiver his lance to splinters against her palace wall,
