GUENDOLEN.
Secure as fools are hardy live thou still. CAMBER. While ill with good is guerdoned, good with ill. GUENDOLEN. I have it in my mind to take thine head. Dost thou not fear to put me thus in fear? CAMBER. I fear nor man nor woman, quick nor dead: And dead in spirit already stand'st thou here. GUENDOLEN. Thou darest not swear my lord hath wronged my bed. Thou darest but smile and mutter, lie and leer. CAMBER. I swear no queen bore ever crown on brow Who meeklier bore a heavier wrong than thou. GUENDOLEN. |
