First Line: That jealousy may rule a mind
Last Line: And can't just then be seen.
Subject(s): Jealousy


That Jealousy may rule a mind
Where Love could never be
I know; but ne'er expect to find
Love without Jealousy.

She has a strange cast in her ee,
A swart sour-visaged maid --
But yet Love's own twin-sister she
His house-mate and his shade.

Ask for her and she'll be denied: --
What then? they only mean
Their mistress has lain down to sleep,
And can't just then be seen.
