    Pious Pervert


    Thou rascal beadle, hold thy bloody hand!
    Why dost thou lash that whore? Strip thine own back.
    Thou hotly lusts to use her in that kind
    For which thou whip’st her.

    –King Lear,
    Act IV, Scene vi

    Unsatisfactory Strumpet


    She burn’d with love, as straw with fire flameth;
    She burn’d out love, as soon as straw outburneth…

    Morning After


    The expense of spirit in a waste of shame
    Is lust in action; and till action, lust
    Is perjured, murderous, bloody, full of blame,
    Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust,
    Enjoy’d no sooner but despised straight.

    -Sonnet CXXIX (129)

    Come, wilt thou see me ride?
    And when I am on horseback, I will swear
    I love thee infinitely.
