‘Tis to their changes that their charms we owe;”

“There was no corn—in the wide market-place
All loathliest things, even human flesh, was sold;
They weighed it in small scales—and many a face
Was fixt in eager horror then; his gold
The miser brought; the tender maid, grown bold
Through hunger, bared her scornèd charms in vain.”

“Now my charms are all o’erthrown,
And what strength I have’s mine own,
Which is most faint.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
