Question 1 Report

Speaker:
I durst, my Lord, to wager she is honest
Lay down my soul at stake. If you think other,
Remove your thought. It doth abuse your bosom
If any wretch have put this your head,
Let heaven requite it with the serpents curse
For if she be not honest, chaste and true
There's no man happy. The purest of their wives
Is foul as slander

(Acts IV, Scene Two, Lines 12-19)

The line "Remove your thought, It doth abuse your bossom" Is best paraphrased ______________

Answer Details
The line "Remove your thought, It doth abuse your bosom" means that if someone thinks that a woman is not honest without any good reason, they are hurting themselves and their own reputation by having such a thought. The speaker is urging the listener to reconsider their unjustified suspicion and to trust that the woman in question is honest unless there is concrete evidence to the contrary. Therefore, the best paraphrase of this line is "You demean yourself by thinking so".
