Pen. Blamest thou then a woman, if she weep

Her lord’s decease?

Ul.Nay, many dames that mourn

Their lords fordone at Troy, lament unblamed.

Pen. Then why say’st thou to me, weep not; who knowest

My loss so well, knewest so well my lord?

Ul. Since thy lord lives, therefore I say weep not.

Pen. I knew that thou wouldst say Ulysses lives.

Ul. ’Tis to no purpose then I bring thee joy?

Pen. Many have falsely brought this hope before.
