      "Can it be right to give what I can give?",
      "To let thee sit beneath the fall of tears",
      "As salt as mine, and hear the sighing years",
      "Re-sighing on my lips renunciative",
      "Through those infrequent smiles which fail to live",
      "For all thy adjurations? O my fears,",
      "That this can scarce be right! We are not peers,",
      "So to be lovers; and I own, and grieve,",
      "That givers of such gifts as mine are, must",
      "Be counted with the ungenerous. Out, alas!",
      "I will not soil thy purple with my dust,",
      "Nor breathe my poison on thy Venice-glass,",
      "Nor give thee any love—which were unjust.",
      "Beloved, I only love thee! let it pass."
