For in the extreme of torture she hath not flinched,
Nor given a sound: but seeing her silence now
Confuted by so many tongues, she hath yielded,
And promised to speak truth. See, here she is.
During this speech Epicharis has been borne in on the litter, and is set down at the centre of the stage.
Her speech shall now unmask what traitorous faces
Still screen their villany.
Ruf.A woman, Cæsar;
And in the pangs of torture, and fear of death!
What evidence is this?
