A brow unbent, that seem'd to welcome woe;

Cheeks, neither red nor pale, but mingled so

That blushing red no guilty instance gave,

Nor ashy pale the fear that false hearts have.

But like a constant and confirmed devil,

He entertain'd a show so seeming just,

And therein so ensconc'd his secret evil,

That jealousy itself could not mistrust——

The well-skill'd workman this mild image drew

For perjur'd Sinon."
