The suitors must swear that if they choose the wrong casket, they will never speak of marriage to any woman again.

You must take your chance, And either not attempt to choose at all Or swear before you choose, if you choose wrong Never to speak to lady afterward In way of marriage. Therefore be advised. Please list your questions separately.
