:40:01
It may be so, my lord.
:40:10
Hear, nature, hear,
dear goddess, hear!

:40:14
Into her womb convey sterility!
:40:17
If she must teem,
:40:21
create her child that be a thwart
disnatured torment to her!

:40:27
That she may feel
how sharper

:40:29
than a serpent's tooth it is
to have a thankless child.

:40:32
Away, away!
:40:56
But let his disposition have that
scope that dotage gives it.

:40:59
What, Oswald, ho!
:41:03
This man hath had good counsel:
A hundred knights!

:41:07
On every fancy, he may enguard
his dotage with their powers,

:41:10
and hold our lives in mercy.
:41:14
Oswald, I say!
:41:16
Well, you may fear too far.
:41:19
Safer than trust too far.
:41:24
What he hath uttered
I have writ my sister.

:41:27
If she sustain him and his hundred
knights, when I've showed th'unfitness.

:41:32
Take you some company,
and away to horse.

:41:35
Inform her full of my
particular fear.

:41:43
This milky gentleness and course
of yours,

:41:46
though I condemn not,
yet, under pardon,

:41:48
you are much more attaskt
for want of wisdom

:41:51
than praised for harmful mildness.
