    To cloke the trothe for praisse withowt desart,
    Of them that lyst all vice for to retayne.

    With Venus and Baccus all theire lyf long;
    Nor holld my pece of them allthoo I smart.”
    —Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    Still Flavia, Chloris, Celia stay in Town;
    Those Ghosts of Beauty ling’ring there abide,
    And haunt the places where their Honour dy’d.”
