And withal find grace. The Lord is a just God. He will rejudge this case, Ay, haply, even mine. O glorious occasion! To champion Heaven's whole right without shift or evasion And plead the Angels' cause! Take courage, my sad heart, Thine hour hath come to thee, to play this worthiest part And prove thy right, thine too, to Heaven's moralities, Not worse than these that wait, only alas more wise!
