Book III, 33: ☞On DINAH.☜

When Dinahs careles Eye was grown too lavish
To entertaine, Sechem found time to ravish:
It is no lesse then silent invitation,
Although we scorne the Sin, to give th' occasion:
Sure, Dinahs Resolution was too strong,
Or to admit, or not resist a Wrong,
And scornes to stoope to the Adult'rers armes;
We often burne, intending but to warme's:
She went but out to see, Perchance, to heare
What Lust could say: What harme to lend an eare?
Anothers Sin, sometimes, procures our shames:
It staines our Bodies; or, at least, our Names.
