Behold, my love, behold all that I simultaneously
do: scandal, seduction, bad example, incest,

my soul, inspire thou in me something yet more,
present further perversions to my smoking heart, and
then shalt thou see how I shall plunge myself into
them all!

The

It is
safest to be moderately base -- to be flexible in
shame, and to be always ready for what is generous,
good and just, when anything is to be gained by
virtue.
