Women Beware Women

"O, the deadly snares
That women set for women, without pity
Either to soul or honour! learn by me
To know your foes: in this belief I die;
Like our own sex, we have no enemy: no enemy."

--- Women Beware Women / Thomas Middleton


"Sin tastes at the first draught like wormwood-water,
But, drunk again, 'tis nectar ever after"
