Clxxvii. [145]

“I may deny you once to try,   or Grace to you to tender. Though he finds Grace before my face   who was the chief oifender; Else should my Grace cease to be Grace,   for it would not be free, If to release whom I should please   I have no liberty.

CLXXVIII.

“If upon one what’s due to none.   I frankly shall bestow, And on the rest shall not think best   compassion’s skirt to throw, Whom injure I? will you envy   and grudge at others’ weal? Or me accuse, who do refuse   yourselves to help and heal ?
