When you assisted me to get away;
For recompense, my friend, without delay,
I'll you procure the

Who makes you love and drives you to despair:
We'll go and see her:--be assured from me,
Before two days are passed, as I foresee,
You'll gain, by presents, Argia and the rest,
Who round her watch, and are the suitor's pest.

I watched the world from God's
unshaken
