Speak, and look back, and pry on every side,
Tremble and start at wagging of a straw,
Intending deep suspicion. Ghastly looks
Are at my service like enforced smiles,
And both are ready in their offices
At any time to grace my stratagems.”

Which at the first are scarce found to distaste,
But with a little act upon the blood
Burn like the mines of sulphur.”
