Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Plays and Poems of Cyril Tourneur, Vol. 2 of 2 The Reuengers Tragaedie. Within the spend-thrift veynes of a drye Duke, A parcht and juicelesse luxur. O God! One That has scarce bloud inough to liue upon, - And hee to ryot it like a sonne and heyre? O the thought of that Turnes my abused heart-strings into fret. Thou sallow picture of my poysoned loue, My studies ornament, thou shell of Death, Once the bright face of my betrothed Lady, When life and beauty naturally fild out These ragged imperfections; When two heauen-pointed Diamonds were set In those unsightly rings; then 'twas a face So farre beyond the artificiall shine Of any woman's bought complexion, That the uprightest man (if such there be, That sinne but seauen times a day) broke custom And made up eight with looking after her. Oh, she was able to ha' made a Usurer's sonne Melt all his patrimony in a kisse, And what his father fiftie yeares told To haue consumde, and yet his sute beene cold. But oh accursed Pallace!
