[Footnote III.119: _Takes off the rose From the fair forehead of an innocent love, And sets a blister there_;] _i.e._, takes the clear tint from the brow of unspotted, untainted innocence. "True or honest as the skin between one's brows" was a proverbial expression, and is frequently used by Shakespeare.]
