To give it or withhold it is my right,
And mine alone, which none can gainsay here.
And choose I now to give it to this beggar,
’Tis his to bear away for good and all.
And what I will, that shall I do. To me
Therefore leave this dispute: to-day the trial,
Thou seest, is closed. Retire thou to thy chamber,
And there at loom and distaff set thy maids their tasks.
But this, which looks not like to be a lady’s matter,
Is mine, for mine is lordship in this house.
