Great Dunsinane he strongly fortifies:
Some say he's mad; others that lesser hate him
Do call it valiant fury: but, for certain,
He cannot buckle his distemper'd cause
Within the belt of rule.

With coral clasps and amber studs;
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Then live with me and be my love.
