Out of this horrible dwelling all these years,

But planted like a kail I have taken root

Under the stairs, my son, under the stairs.

"Do not avenge me, Henry. Let all slide.

I grudge your death. See, do not touch the snake.

A cowardice taints you from your father's side

And a coward's lusts, but curb them, for my sake!

"Back to your grave, back Father, lest she wake!"
