II,1,618

Pompey. If the great gods be just, they shall assist
The deeds of justest men.

Menecrates. Know, worthy Pompey,
That what they do delay, they not deny.

II,1,622

Pompey. Whiles we are suitors to their throne, decays
The thing we sue for.

Menecrates. We, ignorant of ourselves,
Beg often our own harms, which the wise powers
Deny us for our good; so find we profit
By losing of our prayers.
