rust in me, that honour and riches will be yours. You must surely realise that mourning will not revive the dead; for no one ever saw such a thing come about. Remember now, though poor you were, that great riches are within your reach. Once you were poor; rich now you will be. Fortune has not been stingy toward you, in bestowing upon you the honour of being henceforth hailed as Countess. It 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 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.  AND BANISH IT YOU CAN HAVE FULL TRUST IN ME THAT HONOUR AND RICHES WILL BE YOURS YOU MUST SURELY REALIZE THAT MOURNING WILL NOT REVIVE THE DEAD FOR NO ONE EVER SAW SUCH A THING COME ABOUT REMEMBER NOW THOUGH POOR YOU WERE THE GREAT RICHES ARE WITHIN YOUR REACH ONCE YOU WERE POOR RICH NOW YOU WILL BE FORTUNE HAS NOT BEEN STINGY TOWARD YOU IN BESTOWING UPON YOU THE HONOR OF BEING HENCEFORTH HAILED AS COUNTESS IT 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
