318 No evil durst attempt thee; but I rue That error now, which is become my crime, Aud thou the accuser. Thus it shall befall Him who, to worth in women overtrusting, Lets her will rule; restraint she will not brook, And, left to herself, if evil thence ensue, She first his weak indulgence will accuse."
 * Thus they in mutual accusation spent

The fruitless hours, but neither self-condemning And of their vain contest appeared no end.
