Sometimes faire words, wound worse than swords.

If any one unworthy seeke thy bed,From thy chaste house let him be banished:Admit him not, so much as to be jeer'd,Some scoft at first, have after prov'd indeer'd.If he have any wit at all, he'l show it,And prove in sundry straines to let thee know it,Imbracing first, strive a forc't kisse to win,Such kisses have to virgins fatall beene.So by degrees into thy brest love stealesAnd wanders round, but his soft steps conceales;Whilst Fowlers play upon their pipes, and sing,Th'unwary fowle into their nets they bring.

Wonder not that thou art deceived by him that speakes thee faire and flatters thee, but rather wonder how thou hast escaped from not being deceived by him Demosthenes.

Sic avidis fallax indulget piscibus Hamus, Callida sic stultas decipit esca feras. So the deceitfull hooke the fish betrayes, So beasts, by crafty baits, a thousand wayes.
