Oh, When I was in Love – A E Housman (1859-1936)

Oh, when I was in love with you,
Then I was clean and brave,
And miles around the wonder grew
How well did I behave.

And now the fancy passes by,
And nothing will remain.
And miles around they'll say that I
Am quite myself again.

The Wounded Cupid Song - Anacreon (6th Century BC)

Cupid as he lay among
Roses, by a bee was stung.
Whereupon in anger flying
To his mother, said thus crying;
Help! O help! Your boy's a dying.
And why, my pretty lad, said she?
Then blubbering, replied he,
A winged snake has bitten me,
Which country people call a bee.
At which she smiled; then with her hairs
And kisses drying up his tears:
Alas! Said she, my wag! If this
Such a pernicious torment is:
Come tell me then, how great's the smart
Of those, thou woundest with thy dart!

Our Kisses – Paulos (6th Century)

Our kisses
Rhodophe
Let us steal,
And slip,
With furtive ease
Like burglars
Into bed.

To cheat the eyes
Of stern
Leering prudes
Adds honey to
Love's cup.

Intimates - D H Lawrence (1885-1930)

Don't you care for my love? She said bitterly.

I handed her the mirror, and said:
Please address these questions to the proper person!
Please make all requests to head-quarters!
In all matters of emotional importance
Please approach the supreme authority direct! –
So I handed her the mirror.

And she would have broken it over my head,
But she caught sight of her own reflection
And that held her spellbound for two seconds
While I fled.

A New Littany, Occassioned by an Invitation to a Wedding- Elizabeth Thomas (1675-1731)

From marrying in haste, and repenting at leisure,
Not liking the person, yet liking his treasure:
Libera nos.

From a mind so disturbed that each look does reveal it;
From abhorring one's choice, and not sense to conceal it:
Libera nos.

From a husband to govern, and buy him his wit;
From a sullen, ill-natured and whimsical cit:
Libera nos.
