LXX

We come to terms.

I need to be proved true; and nothing so confirms

One's faith in the prime point that one 's alive, not dead,

In all Descents to Hell whereof I ever read,

As when a phantom there, male enemy or friend,

Or merely stranger-shade, is struck, is forced suspend

His passage: "You that breathe, along with us the ghosts?"

Here, why must it be still a woman that accosts?
