5 I tender to thy hand: all thy vexations

Were but my trials of thy love, and thou

Hast strangely stood the [test]: here, afore Heaven,

I ratify this my rich gift. O Ferdinand,

Do not smile at me that I boast her [off],

10 For thou shalt find she will outstrip all praise,

And make it halt behind her.

Fer.

I [do] believe it

Against an oracle.
