of your good pleasure? If it be no more,

Portia is Brutus’ harlot, not his wife.

Brutus. You are my true and honourable wife,

As dear to me as are the ruddy drops

That visit my sad heart.

Portia. If this were true, then should I know this secret.

I grant I am a woman; but withal,

A woman that Lord Brutus took to wife;

I grant I am a woman; but, withal,

A woman well-reputed, Cato’s daughter.
