| <BLOCKQUOTE>O, for my sake do you with Fortune chide,<BR> | |
| The guilty goddess of my harmful deeds,<BR> | |
| That did not better for my life provide<BR> | |
| Than public means which public manners breeds.<BR> | |
| Thence comes it that my name receives a brand,<BR> | |
| And almost thence my nature is subdued<BR> | |
| To what it works in, like the dyer's hand:<BR> | |
| Pity me then and wish I were renew'd;<BR> | |
| Whilst, like a willing patient, I will drink<BR> | |
| Potions of eisel 'gainst my strong infection<BR> | |
| No bitterness that I will bitter think,<BR> | |
| Nor double penance, to correct correction.<BR> | |
| Pity me then, dear friend, and I assure ye<BR> | |
| Even that your pity is enough to cure me.<BR> | |
