O what resentment smother'd ! . . . At last ye both are fallen in my power. Should I lament ? or utter vain regrets ? I vow'd revenge ; and I will have it soon ; Revenge full, unexampled. On your shame Meanwhile I feast my eyes. Flagitious woman, Think not I ever bore thee any love, Nor that a jealous thought within my heart E'er woke a pang. Philip could never deign On a degraded bosom, such as thine, To fix the love of his exalted nature ; Nor could a woman who deserved betray it. Thou hast i...n me thy king offended, then, And not thy lover. Thou, unworthily, Hast now my consort's name, that sacred name, Basely contaminated. I ne'er prized Thy love ; but such inviolable duty Thou should'st have felt towards thy lord and king, As should have made thee e'en at a frail thought Shudder with horror. Thou, seducer vile ; . . . 277 THE GREAT POETS OF ITALY To thee I speak not. Guilt becomes thy nature : The deed was worthy of its impious author. Undoubted proofs to me (too much so !) were, Although conceal' d, your guilty sighs, your silence, Your gestures, and the sorrow which I saw, And still can see, your wicked bosoms filling With equal force.
