Lor. They are, in all maternal things.
Mar.That is,
In all things painful. If they're sick, they will
Be left to me to tend them; should they die,390
To me to bury and to mourn; but if
They live, they'll make you soldiers, senators,
Slaves, exiles—what you will; or if they are
Females with portions, brides and bribes for nobles!
Behold the State's care for its sons and mothers!
Lor. The hour approaches, and the wind is fair.
