SCENE VIII.
STORMANDAsola.
Go, act my just Revenge, and then be hang'd,
While I retire and gently hang my self.
May Women be by my Example taught,
Still to be good, and never to be naught;
Never from Virtue's Rules to go astray,
Nor ever to believe what Man can say.
She who believes a Man, I am afraid,
May be a Woman long, but not a Maid.
26
The female World shall with my Praises ring,
And say, that when I hang'd my self, I did a noble thing.
