Maid: Alive. No, dead.... Oh, read it either way.

Leader: Nay, daughter, can the same soul live and die?

Maid: Her life is broken; death is in her eye.

Leader: Poor King, to think what she was, and what thou!

Maid: He never knew her worth.... He will know it now.

Leader: There is no hope, methinks, to save her still?

Maid: The hour is come, and breaks all human will.

Leader: She hath such tendance as the dying crave?

Maid: For sure: and rich robes ready for her grave.
