LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 12, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Thou lov'st me not, thou tellest me
Last Line: I'm comforted, my darling.
Subject(s): Lips; Love - Complaints


THOU lov'st me not, thou tellest me. --
It troubles me but slightly;
But when thy beauteous face I see,
No king's heart beats more lightly.
Thou hatest me, thy red lips say
With well-pretended snarling;
But when sweet kisses they convey,
I'm comforted, my darling.
