    And bid the cheek be ready with a blush
    Modest as morning when she coldly eyes
    The youthful Phoebus,
    Which is that god in office, guiding men?

And, blushing with him, wistly on him gazed;
Her earnest eye did make him more amazed.

Fit thy consent to my sharp appetite,
Lay by all nicety and prolixious blushes,
That banish what they sue for: redeem thy brother
By yielding up thy body to my will,
Or else he must not only die the death,
But thy unkindess shall his death draw out
To ling'ring sufferance.

I have marked
A thousand blushing apparitions
To start into her face, a thousand innocent shames
In angel whiteness beat away those blushes,
And in her eye there hath appeared a fire
To burn the errors that these princes hold
Against her maiden truth.
