Might have been mine! Only I have left to say,
More is thy due than more than all can pay.

Answer 2

O worthiest cousin!
The sin of my ingratitude even now
Was heavy on me:
I was ungrateful to you cousin by saying or doing something very hurtful.

thou art so far before
That swiftest wing of recompense is slow
To overtake thee.
You're so far more ahead in the right and totally unjustly accused that no repayment could catch up to repay you. I don't see how I could repay.

Would thou hadst less deserved,
I wish you hadn't been so right and I so wrong and you deserved repayment less,

That the proportion both of thanks and payment
Might have been mine!
I might have been able to repay and thank you, his cousin must have done something deserving thanks not condemnation. (They were more feeling then we are)

only I have left to say,
More is thy due than more than all can pay.
I can only say now that nothing (comparison to all the money int the world) could not repay the debt.
