Cesar’s of two years’ growth, expanded now

Into full blossom by her smiles and tears;

The Prince too loves him whom his lady loves,

And were he told, might uncontested leave

The prize that one he loves already owns;

And so both reap the fruit, and make the excuse

Of broken silence, if it needs must break.

And yet I grope about, afraid to fall

Where ill-advised good-will may ruin all.
