Ver. Ye shall see it proved true before your own face;
They shall be convinced before you, one by one.
Resp. O Lord! what marvel if my thrift were well nigh gone?
But what redress shall I have hereof? and when?
Miser. Such as may be most fit, and as soon as we can.
Justice and peace are appointed to descend;
Th' one to keep you quiet; the other you to defend.
As soon as we four sisters together shall be met,
An order for your establishment shall be set:
By the eternal providence it is decreed so.
Resp. O most merciful Lord, all praise be thee unto!
Miser. I will leave you here with my sister Verity,
And learn of their coming with all celerity.
Ver. Ye need not; for I know they be now very near;
And, behold! they begin already to appear.
ACTUS QUINTI, SCENA QUARTA.
Pax. Justitia. Veritas. Misericordia. Respublica.
Peace. Now, once again, in God let us two sisters kiss,
In token of our joining to make a perfect bliss.
