Excerpt: ...past For full fruition of their present bliss. SEG. But leaving with the Judge what, till this earth Be cancell'd in the burning heavens, He leaves His earthly delegates to execute, Of retribution in reward to them And woe to those who wrong'd them-Not as you, Not you, Clotaldo, knowing not-And yet Ev'n to the guiltiest wretch in all the realm, Of any treason guilty short of that, Stern usage-but assuredly not knowing, Not knowing 'twas your sovereign lord, Clotaldo, You used so sternly.
