[Exeunt Gentleman and some Attendants.]
I am afeard the life of Helen, lady, Was foully snatch’d.
COUNTESS. Now, justice on the doers!
Enter Bertram, guarded.
KING. I wonder, sir, since wives are monsters to you, And that you fly them as you swear them lordship, Yet you desire to marry. What woman’s that?
Enter Widow and Diana.
DIANA. I am, my lord, a wretched Florentine, Derived from the ancient Capilet; My suit, as I do understand, you know, And therefore know how far I may be pitied.
WIDOW. I am her mother, sir, whose age and honour Both suffer under this complaint we bring, And both shall cease, without your remedy.
KING. Come hither, count; do you know these women?
BERTRAM. My lord, I neither can nor will deny But that I know them. Do they charge me further?
DIANA. Why do you look so strange upon your wife?
BERTRAM. She’s none of mine, my lord.
