[O who shall shew the countenance and gestures]

O who shall shew the countenance and gestures,
Of Mercie and Iustice, which faire sacred sisters
With equall poize doe euer ballance euen,
Th'vnchaunging proiects of the king of heauen?
Th'one sterne of looke, th'other milde aspecting,
Th'one pleasd with teares, th'other blood affecting.
Th'one beares the sword of vengeance vnrelenting,
Th'other brings pardon for the true repenting.
