[031] To win thee, lady. But, alas the while!

If Hercules and Lichas play at dice

Which is the better man, the greater throw

May turn by fortune from the weaker hand:

[035] So is Alcides beaten by his page;

And so may I, blind fortune leading me.

Miss that which one unworthier may attain,

And die with grieving.

You must take your chance;
