I am not fashioned thus; when you last year

Were sick to death, then I was busy too

About self-slaughter that I might not live

To see your death; and now that you know this

Know yet another thing. If I should chance,

Yes I, to be a-dying, I could do

What you dread at Salome’s hands, I could

A poison mix and give it you in wine,

That even in death I might be sure of you.
