“Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety. Other women cloy
The appetite they feed, but she makes
Hungry, where most she satisfies.” (AC.2.2)

Other women cloy / The appetite they feed, but you make / Hungry where most you satisfy.’ See also ‘Writing. Confidence in your writing power.’
