SCENE I.

ANTONIA.
My heart is full of heaviness and fear!
I blush and tremble like a guilty wretch;
And yet of guilt and shame what have I done?
Last night my lord was late abroad with friends,
And save the servants with him, all the house
Was gone to rest ere I had sought my room.
As wont my chamber door was left unbarr'd;
But I was sunk to sleep before he came.
He spoke not to me, and before the dawn
Departed hastily while yet I drouz'd.
Did he not come? Have I but strangely dreamt?
O righteous Heav'n, drive from my madding brain
Th'opprobious fantasy that seeks admission.
