Well could I curse away a winter’s night.
Though standing naked on a mountain top,

And dig deep trenches in thy beauty’s field,

Utter your gravity o’er a gossip’s bowl;

In the corrupted currents of this world,
Offense’s gilded hand may shove by justice,
And oft ’tis seen the wicked prize itself
Buys out the law.
