Begrudge the bloody shadow of your brother,

All heartless, the atonement of revenge

Sisters should sacrifice, revenge that not

Through Judith’s sword and not through Rahab’s[B] nail,

No, merely through a notion of the mouth

And merely through still folding of the arms

Were better wreaked and to the Dead devoted,

Then he, the very murderer, had not dared

To come anear you, for you’re like the Dead One:

And you could hurt his sight as ’twere the corse
