From your distress: were it of public import,You know 1 never sought-, would never seekTo win a word from you; hut feeling nowYour grief is private, it belongs to meTo lighten or divide it. Since the dayWhen foolish Steno s ribaldry delectedUnfixd your quiet, you are greatly changed,And I would soothe you back to what you were.

But not for a deliberete, false, cool villain.
