:27:04
Hear, Nature.
:27:08
Hear, dear goddess,
hear.

:27:22
Suspend thy purpose,
:27:26
if thou didst
intend to make
this creature fruitful.

:27:32
Into her womb
convey sterility.

:27:39
Dry up in her
the organs of increase;

:27:43
and from her derogate body
never spring a babe
to honour her.

:27:49
If she must teem,
:27:52
create her child of spleen,
:27:54
that it may live
and be a thwart
disnatur'd torment to her.

:28:03
Let it stamp wrinkles
in her brow of youth.

:28:07
With cadent tears
fret channels in her cheeks.

:28:11
Turn all her mother's
pains and benefits
to laughter and contempt,

:28:17
that she may feel
how sharper than
a serpent's tooth it is

:28:23
to have a thankless child.
:28:42
Are my horses
ready?

:28:44
Your asses are
gone about them.

:28:49
Have you writ
that letter
to my sister?

:28:51
Ay, madam.
:28:53
Inform her full
of my particular fear.
Get you gone.
