And somehow never found it, I want this.

I want to choose my death as I have chosen

Mine other lovers proudly, and cleave to him.

I do not want to die afraid and failing

Some king that trusted me; nor yet to leave

This beautiful bright-coloured world in anguish,

Dirt, ugliness, old age, or shamefully

Eaten up with lust. I want to make myself

Lovelier on that last day than any of these

My lovers yet have found me, and so to die
