The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Pericles by William Shakespeare: Those mothers who, to nousle up their babes,
Thought nought too curious, are ready now
To eat those little darlings whom they loved.
So sharp are hunger's teeth, that man and wife
Draw lots who first shall die to lengthen life:
Here stands a lord, and there a lady weeping;
Here many sink, yet those which see them fall
Have scarce strength left to give them burial.
Is not this true?
DIONYZA.
Our cheeks and hollow eyes do witness it.
