adj

Loathsome; hideous.

Her loathly viſage viewing with diſdaine, / Eftſoones I thought her ſuch, as ſhe me told, / And would haue kild her; but with faigned paine, / The falſe witch did my wrathfull hand with-hold; / So left her, where ſhe now is turnd to treen mould.

Pro. Then, as my gueſt, and thine owne acquiſition / Worthily purchas'd, take my daughter : But / If thou do'ſt breake her Virgin-knot, before / All ſanctimonious ceremonies may / With full and holy right, be miniſtred, / No ſweet aſperſion ſhall the heauens let fall / To make this contract grow; but barraine hate, / Sower-ey'd diſdaine, and diſcord ſhall beſtrew / The vnion of your bed, with weedes ſo loathly / That you ſhall hate it both : Therefore take heede, / As Hymens Lamps ſhall light you.
