A Rodomontade on his Cruel Mistress
178
Than all ingredients cramm'd into a curse;
Were she but ugly, peevish, proud, a whore,
Perjur'd or painted, so she where no more,
I could forgive her and connive at this,
Adjudging still she but a woman is.
But she is worse and may in time forestall
The devil and be the damning of us all.
