‘For God sake hold your
tongue, and let me love.’
Chide my illness or the
ruined fortunes,
But hold your tongue to mock
my love.
Take any course that you want
to pursue
So you will let me love my
beloved.
Get anything by whatever
means and
I disturb you not and you
disturb me not.
‘Alas, alas, who’s injured by
my love?’
My sighs haven’t drowned any
merchant ship.
My heats in veins haven’t
caused any plague.
‘Call us what you will, we
are made by love’
Call us candles or flies;
both die at their cost.
‘We can die by it, if not
live by love.’
All shall approve us
canonized for love.
