Her. Woman! how darest thou taunt me with my woes?

Thy children, too, shall perish, and I say

It shall be well! Why takest thou thought for them?

Wearing thy heart, and wasting down thy life

Unto its dregs, and making night thy time

Of care yet more intense, and casting health

Unprized to melt away i’ th’ bitter cup

Thou minglest for thyself? Why, what hath earth

To pay thee back for this? Shall they not live

(If the sword spare them now) to prove how soon
