Husband. Well, I have done.
Wife. But I haven’t done: I wish I had drowned myself the first day I saw you.
Husband. It’s not too late.
Wife. I’d see you hung first.
Husband. You’d be the first to cut me down.
Wife. Then I ought to be tied up in your stead.
Husband. I’d cut you down.
Wife. You would?
Husband. Yes, but I’d be sure you were dead first.
Wife. I cannot bear this any longer.
