I question her, but am no wiser, for she will not answer.
Chorus
Nor tell what source these sorrows have?
Nurse
The same answer thou must take, for she is dumb on every point.
Chorus
How weak and wasted is her body!
Nurse
What marvel? tis three days now since she has tasted food.
Chorus
Is this infatuation, or an attempt to die?
Nurse
Tis death she courts; such fasting aims at ending life.
Chorus
A strange story! is her husband satisfied?
Nurse
She hides from him her sorrow, and vows she is not ill.
Chorus
Can he not guess it from her face?
Nurse
He is not now in his own country.
Chorus
But dost not thou insist in thy endeavour to find out her complaint, her crazy mind?
