Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ...had courage to drink enough Lacked courage to forbid the taste they bred, Which body captained soon, till, in disgust, These very hearts of bodily surfeit died, Poisoned by that sweet overflow of lust Whose past delight our substance deified. No courage, no, nor pleasure have we now, To our own frantic bodies are we tossed, Only sometimes exhaustion will allow Us peace to observe the image of love's ghost, With torturing voice and with hid face return Faintly, as even now, to bid us mourn. XX WHATEVER substances of love may dwell Within the passionate heart of such as I, Whatever waters of pure pity well In the dark orb of a most loving eye, I have yielded you. Whatever were the pain If power within me so to do did live, I, at your need, had made these yours again, But now I know I have no more to give. Your rouged lips are not redder than the blood You have degusted at my life's hid source, Your cruel eyes no bluer than the flood Of tears I have shed about your froward course; Therefore, I say, no further impost make Upon my love, lest its life, too, you take. XXI EXCRUCIATE me, then, if dealing pain Can to your hapless heart bring any pleasure; Make writhe my pride with frivolous disdain, Mock my heart's fulness with your own's short measure, Make vile my words, my honour's trust abuse By what the most sordid count dull infamy, To your heart's good all audience refuse, Preferring evil to more torture me. Aye, do your most: enjoy in constant ill The suzerainty you have on me imposed, Discipline my good will to your evil will, And my each virtue to the vice opposed--Do this, and whatsoever else to joy may move you, Only, oh! never say: "/ do not love you." XXII corrupt!--the mildness of your eyes, Your patience dangerous bids me beware...
