For Goddess love, as taak som laxative.

and her fayre eyes like stars that dimmed were
With darksome cloud, now shew theyr goodly beams
More bright then Hesperus his head doth rere.

Did, till we lov’d? were we not wean’d till then?

And without sneering, teach the rest to sneer;
Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike
