Love
LXXX
From The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume 2
Love
"As it is--your ermined pride, I swear, shall feel this stain upon her,
That I, poor, weak, tost with passion, scorned by me and you again,
Love you, madam, dare to love you, to my grief and your dishonour,
To my endless desolation, and your impotent disdain!"
