Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew

2 Serv. Dost thou love pictures? We will fetch thee straight

A donis painted by a running brook,

A nd Cytherea all in sedges hid,

Which seem to move and wanton with her breath,

E ven as the waving sedges play with wind.

Lord. We’ll show thee Io as she was a maid,

A nd how she was beguiled and surpris’d,

A s lively painted as the deed was done.

3 Serv. Or Daphne roaming through a thorny wood,

S cratching her legs that one shall swear she bleeds,

A nd at that sight shall sad Apollo weep,

S o workmanly the blood and tears are drawn.
