[22]
verum et ipse rex decennii
bello exhaustus, amissis tot liberis, imminente summo
discrimine, cui faciem illam, ex qua tot lacrimarum
origo fluxisset, invisam atque abominandam esse
oportebat, et audit haec et eam filiam appellans
iuxta se locat et excusat etiam atque sibi esse
malorum causam negat.
