    deadly poison.

Though he spare it, read more

Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under
his tongue;

Banning his boist'rous and unruly beast;

Banning his boist'rous and unruly beast;
And now the happy season once more fits
That lovesick Love by pleading may be blest;
For lovers say the heart hath treble wrong
When it is barred the aidance of the tongue.
