P. 1115
Black night o’ershade thy day, and death thy life. [135]
RICHARD
Curse not thyself, fair creature; thou art both.
ANNE
I would I were, to be reveng’d on thee.
RICHARD
It is a quarrel most unnatural,
To be reveng’d on him that loveth thee.
ANNE
It is a quarrel just and reasonable, [140]
To be reveng’d on him that kill’d my husband.
RICHARD
He that bereft thee, lady, of thy husband,
Did it to help thee to a better husband.
ANNE
His better doth not breathe upon the earth.
RICHARD
He lives that loves thee better than he could. [145]
ANNE
Name him.
RICHARD
Plantagenet.
ANNE
Why that was he.
RICHARD
The selfsame name, but one of better nature.
ANNE
