MAdam you see there 's nothing I can reach Either in my obedience or my Service That can deserve your Love but I pursue it Take pleasure in your will even in your Anger I study new Humility to please you And take a kind of Joy in my Afflictions Because they come from you Quis. I know you have deserv'd And know that in the Rigour of strict Justice I should endeavour to requite your Service I know you Love. Arm. If ever Love was mortal And dwelt in Man so fix'd I find it here Respect of such a greatness as allows What I have done already weak performance And unproportion'd to the vast Reward It is but just that who aspires to Heav'n Shou'd win it by his worth and not Sleep to it Enter King and Governour above Gov.
