Death & Dying
A Ballad of Fair Ladies in Revolt: XXXIII
From Poems — Volume 2
Death & Dying
—A plain safe intermediate way is cleft
By reason foiling passion: you that rave
Of mad alternatives to right and left
Echo the tempter, madam: and ’tis due
Unto your sex to shun it as the grave,
This later apple offered you.
