    Not on thy sole, but on thy soul, harsh Jew,
    Thou mak'st thy knife keen; but no metal can--
    No, not the hangman's axe--bear half the keenness
    Of thy sharp envy.

Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That read more

Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou her maid art far more fair than she.
Be not her maid, since she is envious.
Her vestal livery is but sick and green,
And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off.
