Lose Her beauty in time.

The Scholars

"Oh, show me how a rose can shut and be a bud again!"

The Sonnets Cxxxviii - When My Love Swears That She Is Made Of Truth

Unlearned in the world's false subtleties.

Shaheed-e-azam

My death is an excuse,
Some sleepy sleeping people have to wake up.

You Can't Can Love

I don't know how the fishes feel, but I can't help thinking it odd,
That a gay young flapper of a female eel should fall in love with a cod.

That' what evr you do you can't put the lid on that crazy feeling Love.

You Have Crossed The Rubicon

I was a young vine with leaves until you turned me into a pine.
A flowing river, then you seared me into a desert
I was the dazzling sun, a cynosure of many eyes, until you raped me of my iridescence.
The pride of many men, until you smeared me with lust.

With sabres gleaming ready for the fight.

To bound the waters with an iron might.

Used her, but was a ruthless watcher, and the band

And the cocksfoot leans across the rutted cart-pass
That I am not the voice of country fellows
