SEE here VLISSES men, transformed straunge to heare: Some had the shape of Goates, and Hogges, some Apes, and Asses weare Who, when they might haue had their former shape againe, They did refuse, and rather wish'd, still brutishe to remaine. Which showes those foolishe sorte, whome wicked loue dothe thrall, Like brutishe beastes do passe theire time, and haue no sence at all. And thoughe that wisedome woulde, they shoulde againe retire, Yet, they had rather CIRCES serue, and burne in theire desire. Then, loue the onelie crosse, that clogges the worlde with care, Oh stoppe your eares, and shutte your eies, of CIRCES cuppes beware. Sirenum voces, & Circes pocula nosti: Quae si cum sociis stultus, cupidusque bibisset, Sub domina meretrice fuisset turpis, & excors, Vixisset canis immundus, vel amica luto sus. Virgil. Aeneid. 7. Ouid. Metam. lib. 14. Horat. 1. Epist. 2.
