Jealous. Jealousie.
Burning like Aetna with an imbowell'd fire. Self-torturing Martyr. Hollow-ey'd, Snake-hair'd monster. That watches himself a mischief, and keeps a lear eye still, for fear he should escape him. Hundred ey'd Argos, ever waking spie. Pale hag, infernall Fury, pleasures smart, Envious observer viewing every part. Pin'd With seeking that he would be loath to find. The frensie of of the wise. Unkind carefullnesse. Self-punishment for others fault. Cousin of envy. Daughter of love and mother of hate. Self-misery for others happinesse. Beauties watchfull guard. Diligent in hope to lose his labour. That fruitfull mischief, ferall malady. Coninuall Feaver. The furious btter passion. Self-harming passion. Vertue drowning flood, That hellish fire not quenched but with blood, One that dates scarce trust his mother in bed with his wife. An head fly-blown with suspition. Argos was not so jealous of his Cow, Nor th' watchful dragon of the golden fleece. An ill Jailour that makes many break prison. It opens more wayes to wickednesse than it stops, and where it finds one, makes ten dishonest.
