She said, Did I desire a son of my lord? This child was not given to me upon my immoderate desire, for which I might have justly been thus chastised; but was freely promised to me by thee in God's name, and from his special grace and favour. Did not I say, Do not deceive me? With vain hopes of a comfort that I should never have. And I had been much happier if I had never had it, than to lose it so quickly.
