At length broke up. This hell-dog turn’d aside

Toward his home: we travell’d fast and far,

Till by a forest edge at eve he pitched

His tents. I wash’d and ate at his command,

Forcing revolted nature; I composed

My garments and bound up my scatter’d hair;

And when he took my hand, and to his couch

Would fain have drawn me, gently I retired

From that abominable touch, and said,

Forbear to-night I pray thee, for this day
