Q 129

TH'expense of Spirit in a waste of shame
Is lust in action, and till action, lust
Is perjur'd, murd'rous, bloody full of blame,
Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust,
Enjoy'd no sooner but despised straight,
Past reason hunted, and no sooner had
Past reason hated as a swallowed bait,
On purpose laid to make the taker mad.

Mad In pursuit and in possession so,
Had, having, and in quest, to have extreme,
A bliss in proof and prov'd a very woe,
Before a joy propos'd behind a dream,
All this the world well knows yet none knows well,
To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell.
