ALEXANDER
Ay.
‘Fair mother’s fairer daughter,’ dost thou deem
That praise was ever merited as by thee?
I cannot.
LUCREZIA
I concern myself no whit
If so it were or were not.
ALEXANDER
Thou dost well.
Thou hast not seen, thou sayest, Francesco?
LUCREZIA
Nay—
Give me some reliquary to swear it on—
Some rosary—crucifix or amulet,
Sorcerous or sacred.
ALEXANDER
Never twins were born
More like than thou and he—nor lovelier: yet
No twins were ye.
