Is it not monstrous that this player here, but in a fiction, in a dream of passion, could force his soul so to his own conceit that from her working all his visage wanned, tears in his eyes, distraction in his aspect, a broken voice, and his whole function suiting with forms to his conceit - and all for nothing! For Hecuba!  What’s hecuba to him, or he to hecuba,  That he should weep for her?
