You see my lord that goodly fruit she seems,
yet like those apple travellers report,
to grow there sodom and gomorral stood,
i will but touch her and yet straight shall see
she'llfall to soot and ashes.

The extract is from the Act 3 Scene 2 of the The White Devil, a tragedy play by John Webster. The play is based on an event in Italy 30 years before the play's composition: the murder of Vittoria Accoramboni in Padua on December 22, 1585
Explanation:
- This scene takes place at Vittoria's arraignment. The charactres of the play Vittoria, Francisco, Monticelso, Marcello, Brachiano, six Ambassadors, Flamineo, Zanche, a lawyer, and a guard all enter. The lawyer starts to plead against Vittoria in Latin—but Vittoria requests that her trial is not conducted in Latin, even though she personally knows Latin, and insists on the lawyer using a language the audience in the courtroom can comprehend. She manages to get the lawyer dismissed from the court
- Then Monticelso says he will argue, using plainer language, against Vittoria and takes charge of the trial. He accuses Vittoria of being a a woman of immoral character and who behaves unworthily for financial gain She vigorously defends herself.
- Monticelso also compares her to the Gomorrah ( a place notorious for vice and corruption) and Apples of Sodom which look nice however turn to ashes when you attempt eat them, that is, a fruit as described by ancient writers that is externally fair in appearance but dissolves into smoke and ashes when plucked.
- Monticelso after saying this, launches into a tirade about women of immoral character claiming, basically, that they are evil, counterfeit,and fake people who destroy everything
