    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.

To cross their arms and hang their heads with mine,

Mingling my talk with tears, my grief with groans,
Poor wasting monuments of lasting moans.
