Read the extract below and answer the following questions


... seest thou this sweet sight?
Her dotage now I do begin to pity;
For meeting her of late behind the wood,
Seeking sweet favours for this hateful fool,

For she his hairy temples then had rounded
With coronet of fresh and fragrant flowers;
(Act IV, Scene One, Lines 42 - 28)
