Abominable incest shall not be his sin, nor ruffian rape of virgin pure, not e’en dishonour of adultery, but lapse with wanton slave-girl, vile, obscure:
If urged by jealous sting, or modesty, or used to cruelty and harshness dour, Man from his men mad anger curbeth not, his Fame’s white shield shall bear black ugly blot.
