214. I say she’s dead: Ile swear’t. If word, nor oath
215. Preuaile not, go and see: if you can bring
216. Tincture, or lustre in her lip, her eye
217. Heate outwardly, or breath within, Ile serue you
218. As I would do the Gods. But, O thou Tyrant,
219. Do not repent these things, for they are heauier
220. Then all thy woes can stirre: therefore betake thee
221. To nothing but dispaire. A thousand knees,
222. Ten thousand yeares together, naked, fasting,
223. Vpon a barren Mountaine, and still Winter
224. In storme perpetuall, could not moue the Gods
225. To looke that way thou wer’t.
