[024] Lorenzo, I commit into your hands
025 The husbandry and manage of my house
Until my lord’s return: for mine own part,
[027] I have toward heaven breathed a secret vow
To live in prayer and contemplation,
Only attended by Nerissa here,
030 Until her husband and my lord’s return:
There is a monastery two miles off;
[032] And there will we abide. I do desire you
Not to deny this imposition;
