Now, by the ground that I am banish’d from,

335 Well could I curse away a winter’s night,

Though standing naked on a mountain top,

Where biting cold would never let grass grow,

And think it but a minute spent in sport.

Queen. O, let me entreat thee cease. Give me thy hand,

340 That I may dew it with my mournful tears;

Nor let the rain of heaven wet this place,

[♦] To wash away my woful monuments.

O, could this kiss be printed in thy hand,
