The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Venus and Adonis by William Shakespeare: Who blush'd and pouted in a dull disdain,
With leaden appetite, unapt to toy;
She red and hot as coals of glowing fire
He red for shame, but frosty in desire. 36

Nimbly she fastens;--O! how quick is love:--

And govern'd him in strength, though not in lust.
So soon was she along, as he was down,
