The sea o’erfraught would swell, and the unsought diamonds

Would so emblaze the forehead of the deep,

And so bestud with stars, that [they below]

Would grow inured to light, and come at last 735

To gaze upon the sun with shameless brows.

List, Lady; be not [coy], and be not [cozened]

With that same vaunted name, Virginity.

Beauty is Nature’s coin; must not be hoarded,

But must be current; and the good thereof 740

Consists in mutual and partaken bliss,
