Give me the poison; set me free of him! [ELEANOR _offers the vial_. No, no! I will not have it.
ELEANOR. Then this other, The wiser choice, because my sleeping-draughtMay bloat thy beauty out of shape, and makeThy body loathsome even to thy child;While this but leaves thee with a broken heart, A doll-face blanch'd and bloodless, over whichIf pretty Geoffrey do not break his own, It must be broken for him.
ROSAMUND. O I see nowYour purpose is to fright me--a troubadourYou play with words. You ha...d never used so many, Not if you meant it, I am sure. The child.... No.... Mercy! No! (_Kneels_. ) ELEANOR. Play!... That bosom neverHeaved under the King's hand with such true passionAs at this loveless knife that stirs the riot, Which it will quench in blood! Slave, if he love thee, Thy life is worth the wrestle for it: arise, And dash thyself against me that I may slay thee!The worm! shall I let her go? But ha! what's here?By very God, the cross I gave the King!His village darling in some lewd caressHas wheedled it off the King's neck to her own.
