Infamie.

—To attempt hie daungers euident, Without constraint or need is Infamie. And honour turnes to rashnesse in th'euent: And who so dares, not caring how he dares, Sells vertues name, to purchase foolish cares. I. Markham.

—Reproach A vile disease that neuer time can cure. M. Drayton.

Sinne in a chaine leades on her sister shame, And both in giues fast fettered to defame. Idem.

Thy name once foild, incurable the blot, Thy name defaste whch toucht with any staine, And once supplanted neuer growes againe. Gainst open shame no text can well be cited, The blow once giuen cannot be euited. M. Drayton.
