Having raised you: let it stay,
Serve you for retreating? Nay.
Close to me you climbed: as close by,
Keep your station, though the peak
Reached proves somewhat bare and bleak!
Woman 's strong if man is weak.
Keep here, loving me forever!
Love's look, gesture, speech, I claim:
Act love, lie love, all the same—
Play as earnest were our game!
