CONSTANCE.  Grief fills the room up of my absent child,  Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me,  Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words,  Remembers me of all his gracious parts,  Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form;  Then have I reason to be fond of grief.  Fare you well; had you such a loss as I,  I could give better comfort than you do.  I will not keep this form upon my head,      [Tearing her hair]  When there is such disorder in my wit.  O Lord! my boy, my Arthur, my fair son!  My life, my joy, my food, my ail the world!  My widow-comfort, and my sorrows' cure!  Exit.
