  • Capricious, wanton, bold, and brutal Lust Is meanly selfish; when resisted, cruel; And, like the blast of Pestilential Winds, Taints the sweet bloom of Nature's fairest forms.

    John Milton, John D'Alton (1741). “Comus: a masque, now adapted to the stage by John Dalton ... The fifth edition”, p.35
