My sudden rage to tear thee joint by joint.

It hath brought forth to make thee memorable
Among illustrious women, faithful wives:
Cherish thy hastnd widowhood with the gold
Of Matrimonial treason: so farewel.”

Like a body wholly body, fluttering
Its empty sleeves; and yet its mimic motion
Made constant cry,”
