140 And yet be seen to bear a woman’s face?

[♦] Women are soft, mild, pitiful and flexible;

Thou stern, obdurate, flinty, rough, remorseless.

Bid’st thou me rage? why, now thou hast thy wish:

Wouldst have me weep? why, now thou hast thy will:

145 For raging wind blows up incessant showers,

And when the rage allays, the rain begins.

These tears are my sweet Rutland’s obsequies:

[♦] And every drop cries vengeance for his death,

’Gainst thee, fell Clifford, and thee, false Frenchwoman.
