When remedies are past, the griefs are ended 232 By seeing the worst, which late on hopes depended.
DUKE
Let me speak like yourself and lay a sentence, 229
Which as a grise or step may help these lovers 230
⟨Into your favor.⟩ 231
When remedies are past, the griefs are ended 232
By seeing the worst, which late on hopes depended. 233
To mourn a mischief that is past and gone 234
Is the next way to draw new mischief on. 235
What cannot be preserved when fortune takes, 236
Patience her injury a mock’ry makes. 237
The robbed that smiles steals something from the 238
thief; 239
He robs himself that spends a bootless grief. 240
