Caric. Isle answer thee Proud dame, if my Theagines live yet, I say, I am not guilty of this murder, But if by thy most damnable attempts His purer soul hath left the earthly prison Of his fair body, I declare my self Guilty of this and whatsoever else Thy malice can invent, I was the woman That poisoned then thy nurse, who trained thee up To all those goodly virtues of thy mind; I do desire to suffer, kill me straight That I may meet my lover, who so stoutly Resisted thy soul lust, and lewd enticements, Choosing to die rather then condescend.
