Th'expence of Spirit in a waste of shame
Is lust in action, and till action, lust Is periurd, murdrous, blouddy full of blame, Sauage, extreame, rude, cruell, not to trust, Inioyd no sooner but dispised straight, Past reason hunted, and no sooner had Past reason hated as a swollowed bayt, On purpose layd to make the taker mad. Made In pursut and in possession so, Had, hauing, and in quest, to haue extreame, A blisse in proofe and proud and very wo, Before a ioy proposd behind a dreame, All this the world well knowes yet none knowes well, To shun the heauen that leads men to this hell.
