Bestow one smile, one little little smile, And in a net of twisted silk and gold In my all-naked arms thyself shalt lie. VOL. II. 14 ELEAZ. Why, what to do? Lust's arms do stretch so wide That none can fill them: I lay there! away! Q. Mo. Where hast thou learn'd this language, that can say No more but two rude words? away, away. ELEAZ. Ugly as hell. Q.
