    Touch you the sow’rest points with sweetest terms,
    Nor curstness grow to the matter. William Shakespeare, Ant. and Cleopat.

    Her mouth she writh’d, her forehead taught to frown,
    Her eyes to sparkle fires to love unknown;
    Her sallow cheeks her envious mind did shew,
    And ev’ry feature spoke aloud the curstness of a shrew. Dryd.
