adjective 
  1. Pertaining to concupiscence or lust.
He would not, but by gift of my chaste body
To his intemperate lust,
Release my brother; and, after much debatement,
My sisterly remorse confutes mine honour,
And I did yield to him. But the next morn betimes,
His purpose surfeiting, he sends a warrant
For my poor brother's head.
