How long shall I endure them, on whom I have bestowed such great benefits?: This question is rhetorical; it does not call for an answer. It may be rendered as an exclamation as follows:

• I can’t endure much longer these people whom I have given so many good things!

Another possible model is:

• How much longer must I put up with them? I have given them so many good things.
