    I ask, that I might waken reverence,
    And bid the cheek be ready with a blush
    Modest as morning when she coldly eyes
    The youthful Phoebus,
    Which is that god in office, guiding men?

Fit thy consent to my sharp appetite,
Lay by all nicety and prolixious blushes,

Fit thy consent to my sharp appetite,
Lay by all nicety and prolixious blushes,

But thy unkindess shall his death draw out
To ling'ring sufferance.

They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats,
And flare up bodily, wings and all.
