WHAT FREEZINGS I HAVE FELT
“Aye me, what weariness besets me. This unborn babe hath thrice disturb’d my slumber. Now light through yonder kitchen window breaks and childish voices assail. No rest. No rest. Anon himself hops through my door, his teeth bared. Is my Romeo ill of health?”
“Juliette, canst thou not sweep? A child’s plaything hath dug deep into my sole.”
“Canst thou not bend thy leaden arse to retrieve it? Where is he who scaled to my bedchamber pledging his undying love?”
“Alack. Better my life had ended with poison.”
“Oh churl! Better I had run myself through with thy happy dagger.”
