Scena. 7.
Cassandra, apparelled like a Page.Cas.
Unhappy wretche, I blush my selfe to see,
Apparelled thus monstrous to my kinde:
But oh, my weedes, wyll with my fault agree,
When I haue pleasde, lewde Promos fleshlie minde.
Or on more sute, shall I giue my consent?
The best is sure, since this must needes be wrought:
I go, and showe, neede makes me to his bent.
My fluddes of teares, from true intent which floe.
Maye quenche his lust, or ope his musled eyen,
To see that I deserue to be his wife:
Though now constrainde to be his Concubine.
But so, or no, I must the vent er giue,
No daunger feares the wight, prickt foorth by neede:
And thus lyke one more glad to dye, then lyue,
I forewarde set, God graunt me well to speede.
Exit.
