This hell : in reference to vagina, men lose their reason and pursue this instead. About the nature of lust: will / desire, reason. Always in con ict: spirit is in reference of semen. Waste of shame: the nature of lust. Once it is satis ed, we immediately hate it: once desired is satis ed reason takes over. The power of conscience: lust hunts reason, a bliss in proof, and proved, a very woe . Sonnet 147: we long for that that extends our lust, reason tries to curb the will. Is instead taken over: desire is death. It was believed that sexual climax shortened your life. Kills the soul: desire is sin.
