Of my flesh check to haggard sallowness,

I do beseech you--
Though I perchance am vicious in my guess

To spy into abuses, and oft my jealousy
Shapes faults that are not), that your wisdom yet
From one that so imperfectly conjects
Would take no notice, nor build yourself a trouble
Out of his scattering and unsure observance.

Then grew a wrinkle on fair Venus' brow,
The amber sweet of love is turn'd to gall!

Swearing no greater mischief could be wrought,
Than love united to a jealous thought.
