A world cannot another Mariam buy, Why stay you lingring? countermaund her death, — 27 — Salo: Then youle no more remember what hath past, Sohemus love and hers shall be forgot: Tis well in truth: that fault may be her last, And she may mend, though yet she love you not.... Her. : Oh God: tis true. Sohemus: earth and heav'n, . . . She is deceitfull, light as vanitie. " IV. 8. Mariam, in a monologue, knowing that she is to die, regrets her lack of humility. She re- cognises that chastity has been her only virtue, and realises that that is not enough. "But I did thinke because I knew me chaste. One vertue for a woman, might suffice. That mind for glory of our sexe might stand. Wherein humilitie and chastitie Doth march with equall paces, hand in hand. '' Enter Doris, who curses Mariam and her children.
