Madness his sorrow, gout his cramps, may he

Make, by but thinking who hath made him such ;

And may he feel no touch

Of conscience, but of fame, and be

Anguish'd, not that 'twas sin, but that 'twas she ;

Or may he for her virtue reverence

One that hates him only for impotence,

And equal traitors be she and his sense.

May he dream treason, and believe that he

Meant to perform it, and confesses, and die,

And no record tell why ;

His sons, which none of his may be,

Inherit nothing but his infamy ;

Or may he so long parasites have fed,

That he would fain be theirs whom he hath bred,

And at the last be circumcised for bread.
