  1. Who can tell me what caused the fatal stroke that reached thy heart, dear wife? Will no one tell me what befell?
  2. doth my palace all in vain give shelter to a herd of menials? Woe, woe for thee, my wife! sorrows
    past speech, past bearing, I behold within my house; myself a ruined man, my home a solitude, my children orphans!
