Agr. Eh! Why, I think my son’s ingratitude

Is nought to this; he had the right to expect

My favours: but for you, whom I chose out

And set above the rest because I chose,

Made you my friends because I chose, for you

There is no excuse. Had ye no motive, yet

To see a woman in distress like mine,

Wronged by her son, and injured as no woman

Has ever been, should rouse a manly spirit,

Ay, make a coward burn to do me right.
