I grant I am a woman; but withal
A woman that Lord Brutus took to wife:[123]
I grant I am a woman; but withal
295A woman well-reputed, Cato's daughter.
Think you I am no stronger than my sex,
Being so father'd and so husbanded?
Tell me your counsels; I will not disclose 'em.
I have made strong proof of my [constancy],
300Giving myself a voluntary wound
Here, in the thigh: can I bear that with patience,
