A woman impudent and mannish grown Is not more loath'd than an effeminate man.

How now, wit! Whither wander you?
William Shakespeare
In me thou see'st the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by and by black night doth take away Death's second self, that seals up all in rest. -Sonnet 73

Words, vows, gifts, tears, and love's full sacrifice, He offers in another's enterprise But more in Troilus thousand-fold I see Than in the glass of Pandar's praise may be, Yet hold I off.
William Shakespeare
