“See where she comes, and smell how all the street,
Breathes vineyards and pomegranates: oh, how sweet!

Built up of odours, burneth in her breast.
Who therein would not consume
His soul to ash-heaps in that rich perfume,”

The malice towards you, to forgive you. Live,
And deal with others better.”
