ALEXANDER

Ay.
'Fair mother's fairer daughter,' dost thou deem
That praise was ever merited as by thee?
I cannot.

LUCREZIA

I concern myself no whit
If so it were or were not.

ALEXANDER

Thou dost well.
Thou hast not seen, thou sayest, Francesco?

LUCREZIA

Nay -
Give me some reliquary to swear it on -
Some rosary--crucifix or amulet,
Sorcerous or sacred.

ALEXANDER

Never twins were born
More like than thou and he--nor lovelier: yet
No twins were ye.
