Rowland Smith translation

... "there's no motion That tends to vice in man, but, I affirm It is the woman's part; be't lying, note it, The woman's; flattering, hers; deceiving, hers; Lust and rank thoughts, hers, hers; revenges, hers; Ambitions, covetings, change of prides, disdain, Nice longings, slanders, mutability; All faults that may be named, nay, that hell knows. Why, hers, in part, or all; but rather all."—Cymbeline.
