  • The expense of spirit in a waste of shame
    Is lust in action; and till action, lust
    Is perjur’d, murderous, 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 swallow’d 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
    All this the world well knows; yet none knows well

    To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell.
