The long-abiding, happily banished horror

We hoped to see no more. Shall she return

To vex our souls, unsex our wives and daughters,

And spoil our pictures as she did of old?

Forbid it, womanhood and modesty!

And if they won't, let manhood and sound sense

Arise in wrath and warn the horror off,

Ere she effect a lodgment on the limbs

Of pretty girls, or clothe our matron's shapes

With shame as with a garment.
