The servant instantly,
Quitting the fruit, seiz'd on my heart alone,
And threw it in a font, wherein did fall
A stream of blood, which issued from the side
Of a great rock: I well
remember
all,
And have good cause: there it was dipt and dyed,
And wash'd, and wrung: the very wringing yet
Enforceth tears.

Lay him down in the soft
coverlets
wherein he used to slumber, upon that couch of solid gold whereon he used to pass the nights in sacred sleep with thee; for the very couch longs for Adonis, Adonis all dishevelled.

I'd give my gentle blood
To wash my special shame
And drown my private grudge;
I'd toil and moil much rather
The
dingiest
cottage drudge
Whose mother need not blush, 470
Than live here like a lady
And see my Mother flush
And hear her voice unsteady
Sometimes, yet never dare
Ask to share her care.

Comme je lui
reprochais
de ne pas m'avoir laissé
l'embrasser, je lui avais dit que je trouvais cela aussi naturel que je
trouvais ignoble qu'une femme eût des relations avec une autre femme.
