“The Woman Hater”
Act i. sc. 2.—
This scene from the beginning is prose printed as blank verse, down to the line—
“E’en all the valiant stomachs in the court”—
where the verse recommences. This transition from the prose to the verse enhances, and indeed forms the comic effect. Lazarillo concludes his soliloquy with a hymn to the goddess of plenty.
The End
