In part because the shock had stunn’d me much,
In part because I felt me much provoked,
But most because my ears were deaf to sport,
I answer’d naught. Whereat, as now I think,
Though then in that unnatural, nervous mood
My mind surmised more horrid inference,
Her voice, in still more mischievous caprice,
Went on to vex me more.
“What?—Fear you me!
And have you done so much against me, then!
