     I, that am rudely stamp'd, and want love's majesty
     To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;
     I, that am curtail'd of this fair proportion,
     Cheated of feature by dissembling nature,
     Deformed, unfinish'd, sent before my time
     Into this breathing world, scarce half made up,
     And that so lamely and unfashionable
     That dogs bark at me as I halt by them ...
