"Keep silence, all." the Count replies; "the dame is mine and I am hers, and I will do with her as I please." At this she could not hold her peace, but swears she will never be his. And the Count springs up and strikes her again, and she cries out aloud. KEEP SILENCE ALL THE COUNT REPLIES THE DAME IS MINE AND I AM HERS AND I WILL DO WITH HER AS I PLEASE AT THIS SHE COULD NOT HOLD HER PEACE BUT SWEARS SHE WILL NEVER BE HIS AND THE COUNT SPRINGS UP AND STRIKES HER AGAIN AND SHE CRIES OUT ALOUD
you grieve and lament because of this, do you think that I am surprised? Nay. But I am giving you the best advice I know how to give. In that I have married you, you ought to be content. Take care you do not anger me! Eat now, as I bid you do." And she replies: "Not I, my lord. In faith, as long as I live I will neither eat nor drink unless I first see my lord eat who is lying on yonder dais" "Lady, that can never be. People will think that you are mad when you talk such great nonsense. You will receive a poor reward if you give occasion to-day for further reproof." To this she vouchsafed no reply, holding his threats in slight esteem, and the Count strikes her upon the face. At this she shrieks, and the barons present blame the Count. "Hold, sire!" they cry to the Count; "you ought to be ashamed of having struck this lady because she will not eat. You have done a very ugly deed. If this lady is distressed because of her lord whom she now sees dead, no one should say that she is wrong. IS TRUE THAT YOUR LORD IS DEAD IF YOU GRIEVE AND LAMENT BECAUSE OF THIS DO YOU THINK THAT I AM SURPRISED NAY BUT I AM GIVING YOU THE BEST ADVICE I KNOW HOW TO GIVE IN THAT I HAVE MARRIED YOU YOU OUGHT TO BE CONTENT TAKE CARE YOU DO NOT ANGER ME EAT NOW AS I BID YOU DO AND SHE REPLIES NOT I MY LORD IN FAITH AS LONG AS I LIVE I WILL NEITHER EAT NOR DRINK UNLESS I FIRST SEE MY LORD EAT WHO IS LYING ON YONDER DAYS LADY THERE CAN NEVER BE PEOPLE WILL THINK THAT YOU ARE MAD WHEN YOU TALK SUCH GREAT NONSENSE YOU WILL RECEIVE A POOR REWARD IF YOU GIVE OCCASION TO DAY FOR FURTHER REPROOF TO THIS SHE VOUCHSAFED NO REPLY HOLDING HIS THREATS IN SLIGHT ESTEEM AND THE COUNT STRIKES HER UPON THE FACE AT THIS SHE SHRIEKS AND THE BARONS PRESENT BLAME THE COUNT HOLD SIRE THEY CRIED TO THE COUNT YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF HAVING STRUCK THIS LADY BECAUSE SHE WILL NOT EAT YOU HAVE DONE A VERY UGLY DEED IF THIS LADY IS DISTRESSED BECAUSE OF HER LORD WHOM SHE NOW SEES DEAD NO ONE SHOULD SAY THAT SHE IS WRONG
