202. A PARADOX
Though never present, I appear,
Of perfect form a token;
And all that centres round my ear
Is heard, though never spoken.
203. BEST WHEN BEHEADED
Behead me twice, and it shall be
That I my perfect self regain;
Restore both heads and you shall see
That most perfect I remain.
204. MISSING WORDS
Grant, lady, grant your ..... his whim,
And give the coming ..... to him,
For this will ..... his jealous heart,
Stricken so sore by Cupid’s dart.
If not he ..... his hands of you,
To seek fresh ..... and pastures new.
