But, as when an authentic watch is shown,
Each man winds up and rectifies his own;
So in our very judgments.
Aglaura (1638)
Our sins, like to our shadows,
When our day is in its glory, scarce appear:
Towards our evening how great and monstrous
They are!
Aglaura (1638)
Why so pale and wan, fond lover
Prithee, why so pale?
Will, when looking well can't move her,
Looking ill prevail?
Prithee, why so pale? ...
Quit, quit, for shame, this will not move:
This cannot take her.
If of herself she cannot love,
Nothing can make her:
The devil take her!
Aglaura (1638)
