And shamelessness expels the better shame;

Him shall the god cast down, in darkness hurl’d,

His name, his offspring wasted from the world:

The goods for which he pawn’d his soul decay,

The breath and shining bubble of a day.

Who climbs, by lure of stolen embraces led,

With ill-timed act, a brother’s marriage bed;

Who dares by crafty wickedness abuse
