King. O thou eternal Mover of the heavens,

20 Look with a gentle eye upon this wretch!

[♦] O, beat away the busy meddling fiend

And from his bosom purge this black despair!

War. See, how the pangs of death do make him grin!

25 Sal. Disturb him not; let him pass peaceably.

[♦] King. Peace to his soul, if God’s good pleasure be!
