Thomas Dekker Edited, with an introd and notes . but in expressing love. \st. O. Man. Let every one beg once more on his knee,One pardon for himself, and one for me ;For I enticed you hither. O dear Goddess,Breathe life in our numbed spirits with one from this cold earth, we with lively rise like men new-born, and make Heaven sound ^ See note ^ to Prologue. Dekke C C 386 OLD FORTUNAtUS. With hymns sung to thy name, and prayers that we May once a year so oft enjoy this sight, Till these young boys change their curled locks to white, And when gray-winged age sits on their heads, That so their children may supply their steads. And that Heavens great arithmetician, ^^ho in the scales of number weighs the world, May still to forty-two add one year more, And still add one to one, that went before, And multiply four tens by many a ten : To this I cry, Amen. All. Amen, amen ! \st O. Man. Good-night, dear mistress, those that wishthee harm,Thus let them stoop under destructions arm. All. Amen, amen, amen ! \Exeunt. y^^.
