Living
Too Mindful of the Fault in Eve
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Living
Too mindful of the fault in Eve,
You ladies never will believe,
Else I would venture now to say
I love you quite as well this day
As when fire ran along my veins
From your bright eyes, and joys and pains
Each other's swelling waves pursued,
And when the wooer too was wooed.
