(Snow in Midsummer (ghost scene))
DOU E. I complained not to any official but to Heaven,
For I could not express the injustice that was done me;
And to save my mother from torture
I confessed to a crime of which I was innocent,
And remained true to my dead husband.
Three feet of snow fell on my corpse;
My hot blood gushed to the white silk streamer;
Zou Yan called down frost,
And snow showed the injustice done me.
Your child committed no crime,
But suffered a great wrong: (Snow in Midsummer.act 4. lines 132-142)
