The Distrest Mother/Act 3, Scene 5

​

SCENE V.

Andromache, and Cephisa.

And.Did'st thou not mind, with what Disdain she spoke!
Youth and Prosperity have made her vain:
She has not seen the fickle Turns of Life.

Ceph.Madam, were I as you, I'd take her Counsel;
I'd speak my own Distress: One Look from you
Will vanquish Pyrrhus, and confound the Greeks———
See, where he comes!———Lay hold on this Occasion.
