Do not weep, good

fools:/There is no cause:
when you shall know your
mistress/Has deserv'd
prison, then abound in
tears/As I come out: this
action I now go on/Is for
my better grace.
How can this passage
from Hermione be
translated?
A. Do not cry for me. It shall be
Leontes who ends up in prison and
not me.
B. Do not cry. I deserve this
punishment and will take it as duty
requires.
C. Do not cry for me. I'm innocent
and as such, through suffering, I shall
find grace.
D. Do not cry. I'll have a discussion
with the king and get this whole
mess sorted.
