Fraternal Strife

We watch the scene repeatedly. When women argue heatedly no goodness helps, no king, no queen. Repeatedly we watch the scene. Will loves Kate and Meg loves Harry. In the past the men were merry. The women had some hot debate, Meg loves Harry and Will loves Kate. One brother stayed, one moved away. Between the two the silence may come to an end, decrease and fade. One moved away, one brother stayed. "Let's stop this strife, distant brother, linked by early death of mother, estranged by guarding my dear wife. Distant brother, let's stop this strife!"
