       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.
