Catalogue Note

The Grief of Constance
"Grief fills the room up of my absent child.
Lies in his bed, walks up and across me.
Puts on his pretty looks repeats his words.
Remembers one of his gracious parts,
Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form.
Then have I reason to be fond of griefs."

King John. Act 3 Scene 4.
