- } Now my charms are all o'erthrown,\
- And what strength I have's mine own,\
- Which is most faint. Now 'tis true\
- I must be here confined by you\
- Or sent to Naples. Let me not, {\fs20 5}\
- Since I have my dukedom got,\
- And pardoned the deceiver, dwell\
- In this bare island by your spell;\
- But release me from my bands\
- With the help of your good hands. {\fs20 10}\
- Gentle breath of yours my sails\
- Must fill, or else my project fails,\
- Which was to please. Now I want\
- Spirits to enforce, art to enchant;\
- And my ending is despair {\fs20 15}\
- Unless I be relieved by prayer,\
- Which pierces so, that it assaults\
- Mercy itself, and frees all faults.\
- As you from crimes would pardoned be,\
- Let your indulgence set me free. {\fs20 20}\
