My noble father, 208 I do perceive here a divided duty. 209 To you I am bound for life and education. 210 My life and education both do learn me 211 How to respect you. You are the lord of duty. 212 I am hitherto your daughter. But here’s my 213 husband. 214 And so much duty as my mother showed 215 To you, preferring you before her father, 216 So much I challenge that I may profess 217 Due to the Moor my lord.

My noble father, 208
I do perceive here a divided duty. 209
To you I am bound for life and education. 210
My life and education both do learn me 211
How to respect you. You are the lord of duty. 212
I am hitherto your daughter. But here’s my 213
husband. 214
And so much duty as my mother showed 215
To you, preferring you before her father, 216
So much I challenge that I may profess 217
Due to the Moor my lord. 218
