Gent. Gracious sovereign,
Whether [I have] been [to blame] or no, I know not:
Here's a petition from a Florentine,
Who [hath] [for four] or five removes come short
To tender it herself. I undertook it,
Vanquish'd thereto by the fair grace and speech
Of the poor suppliant, who by this I know
Is here attending: her business looks in her
With an [importing] visage; and she told me,
In a sweet verbal brief, it did concern
