Of bickering and mutual abuse."

I told them that it was my duty plain

To reconcile them. I accorded both

Of them most pure intentions. Then I sent

Them home, and made agreeable the way.

Their cares I drove away with honeyed words.

I have composed the verses of this piece,

With sense more delicate than rare perfume

Of orange-flower or than sugar sweet,

For those kind hearts who know how to forgive.
