Greater loveRed lips are not so redAs the stained stones kissed by the English dead.Kindness of wooed and wooerSeems shame to their love pure.O Love, your eyes lose lureWhen I behold eyes blinded in my stead! Your slender attitudeTrembles not exquisite like limbs knife-skewed,Rolling and rolling thereWhere God seems not to care:Till the fierce love they bearCramps them in death
