Perhaps if only once you did enjoy
The thousandth part of all the happiness
A heart beloved enjoys, returning love,
Repentant, you would surely sighing say,
"All time is truly lost and gone
Which is not spent in serving love."

Torquato Tasso

You, Honor, first you hid
The fount of love's delight,
Denying drafts to slake the lover's thirst.
