    Shakespeare says, in the Devil Porter scene (Act II, scene III) from 
MacBeth, "Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes; it provokes the desire, 
but it takes away the performance.  Therefore, much drink may be said to be 
an equivocator with lechery; it makes him and it mars him; it sets him on and 
it takes him off; it persuades him and disheartens him; makes him stand to, 
and not stand to; in conclusion, equivocates him in a sleep, and giving him 
the lie, leaves him."
    Scotti
