What, speaks a woman thus? I know that oft

When I have called her fair she’s marred her features

With twistings till she was no longer fair.

I know she cannot weep, that her drawn face

Tells what in others finds the vent of tears.

I know that she had quarrelled with her brother

Not long before he found death in his bath,

And then play-acted the disconsolate,

And, to cap that, when he was now a corpse,

Displayed another gift received from him
