Justitia. And now, let us never be sundered any more
Till we may Respublica perfectly restore.
Ver. Let us meet them, sister Misericordia!
Miser. And unto their sight present Respublica.
Just., Pax. All hail, most dear sisters, Mercy and Verity!
And, all hail, Respublica, with all sincerity!
Resp. O ye ladies celestial! how much am I bound
With thanks to fall flat before you on the ground,
That ye thus vouchsafe a forlorn creature
By your heave[n]ly protection to recure.
Just. I, Justice, from heaven am come you to visit.
Pax. And I, Peace, for ever with you to inhabit.
Miser. And all we four sisters, to th' utmost of our power,
Shall restore, establish, and defend your honour.
Just. We shall first restore your most happy estate,
And suppress all them that had made you desolate.
Ver. Verity shall all truth open as it is.
