Leader: How weak and wasted is her body!

Nurse: What marvel? 'tis three days now since she has tasted food.

Leader: Is this infatuation, or an attempt to die?

Nurse: 'Tis death she courts; such fasting aims at ending life.

Leader: A strange story if it satisfies her husband.

Nurse: She hides from him her sorrow, and vows she is not ill.

Leader: Can he not guess it from her face?

Nurse: He is not now in his own country.

Leader: But dost not thou insist in thy endeavour to find out her
complaint, her mind?
