EXAMPLE (for adj. 1)
“…If badd, how happ’s that none his hurtes disproue?
If willingly I burne, how chance I waile?
If gainst my will, what sorrow will auaile?
O liuesome death, O sweete and pleasant ill,
Against my minde how can thy might preuaile?
If I bend backe, and but refraine my will,
If I consent, I doe not well to waile…”
From: ἐκατομπαθία: The Hekatompathia or Passionate Centurie of Loue
By Thomas Watson, 1582
