Who is it grieves thee?’
‘Nay, if thou but flee he will soon pursue thee,
If he get no presents, he’ll give thee presents,
If thou love him not, he will love thee quickly,
E’en if thou wilt not.’
Come then now again and relieve me, goddess,
From my carking cares and whate’er my spirit
Longeth for accomplish, and on my side do
Battle, my mistress;
(Gildersleeve)
