  1. As when the sun does by a powerful beam
  2. Dissolve the frost, it runs into a stream.
  3. The lamentable objects struck me dead,
  4. And tears of blood to quench those tears I shed;
  5. Thrice at her feet the prostrate suppliant fell,
  6. And thrice did she repulse the criminal.
  7. What would I not your anger to abate,
  8. Redeem your favour, or remove your hate?
