Be cold! You speak new words to her, she hath not loved.
QUEEN You know this frenzy, then, which, poets tell, Perplexes men and women, inflames their blood To fevers and blushing and their sensible tongues To utter foolish oaths? I have not loved.
[153] The Queen of China My wits are quiet, I am not distraught, I reason unperturbed, my cheeks are cool, I sleep all night in peace, I do not wake Murmuring a name with tears.
1ST SlAVE-GlRL are you happy?
QUEEN I have so smooth and delicate a life,... I cannot tell. I live from day to day, So thrilling with a sweet and glad unease In expectation of tomorrow's gladness, That all my joy's part pain and want of rest.
2ND SlAVE-GlRL But your delight, lady, when it comes, Does it stop up your pulses, seal your eyes Against the passage of the light-winged hours And fill your heart so that you lose all sense Of earth and being and the weight of time? For this is love and to find this we love.
QUEEN My heart beats faster sometimes but not knocks Against my side in hasty agony, Great heavy beats, prolonged and intervalled, As they say lovers' do.
