You heavens, give me that patience which I need!

You see me here, you gods; a poor old man,

As full of grief as age; wretched in both!

If it be you that stir these daughters’ hearts

Against their father, fool me not so much

To bear it tamely; touch me with noble anger!

O, let no woman’s weapons, water-drops,

Stain my man’s cheeks!——No, you unnatural hags,

I will have such revenges on you both,

That all the world shall——I will do such things——
