Стр. 41 - Venus' soil, One jewel set off with so many a foil ; Blisters with pride swell'd, which through's flesh did sprout Like rose-buds, stuck i' the lilly skin about. Each little pimple had a tear in it, To wail the fault its rising did commit : Which, rebel like, with its own lord at strife, Thus made an insurrection 'gainst his life.
