Thou desiredst one thing, but I did another

Thou desiredst one thing, but I did another.
Show me mercy: so shall I escape: if Thou wilt not, no resting place have I.

What I willed that I did: what Thou willedst, I did not.
Dadu is a guilty sinner: this I know within my heart.

Do whatever thou willest: I own my defeat.
Pardon, if Thou wilt, thy slave: or if thou wilt, seize and scourge him.
