O beautiful Prin- cess, you are of illustrious lineage and mind, and learned. Your father brought you up on Plutarch instead of Amadis ; you know many things ; but there is one, methinks, no one can know the nature of it until he has it.
PRINCESS What is that, pray?
DIEGO A heart. Because you have not got one yet, you make your plans without it, a negligible item in your life.
54 ARIADNE IN MANTUA PRINCESS I am not a child.
DIEGO But not yet a woman.
PRINCESS (meditatively) You think, then DIEG...O I do not think; I know. And you will know, some day. And then PRINCESS Then I shall suffer. Why, we must all suffer. Say that, having a heart, a heart for husband or child, means certain grief, well, does not riding, walking down your stairs, mean the chance of broken bones ? Does not living mean old age, disease, possible blindness or paralysis, and quite inevitable aches ? If, as you say, I must needs grow a heart, and if a heart must needs give agony, why, I shall live through heartbreak as through pain in any other limb.
