Queen Monologue from Cymbeline

From Cymbeline by William Shakespeare

female · contemplative · 50 sec

I wonder, Doctor, Thou ask’st me such a question. Have I not been Thy pupil long? Hast thou not learn’d me how To make perfumes? distil? preserve? yea, so That our great king himself doth woo me oft For my confections? Having thus far proceeded is’t not meet That I did amplify my judgement in Other conclusions? I will try the forces Of these thy compounds on such creatures as We count not worth the hanging To try the vigour of them, and apply Allayments to their act, and by them gather Their several virtues and effects.
