    And you, enchantment,
    Worthy enough a herdsman--yea, him too,
    That makes himself, but for our honor therein,
    Unworthy thee-if ever henceforth thou
    These rural latches to his entrance open,
    Or hoop his body more with thy embraces,
    I will devise a death as cruel for thee
    As thou art tender to't.
