Well, he has made an oath, and I know that he will keep it.

Now I, too, make an oath which certainly I shall keep.

I swear in the presence of both of you, by myself and by Godfrey, that neither in this world or in any other, should I live again and have remembrance, will I marry any man or exchange tendernesses with any man, except himself.

So all your plans come to nothing; yes, you have brought all this misery upon us for nothing, and if you want to found a great family, as I know you do, you had better marry again yourself and let me go my way.

In any case, if I should survive you and should Godfrey live, I will marry him after your death, even if we have to wait until we are old to do so.
