LOVE OR DEATH, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Shall we for ever stealing looks of fire
Last Line: One lot together, be it life or death.
Alternate Author Name(s): Paul The Silent; Paul The Silentiary


SHALL we for ever stealing looks of fire
Fling covert glances thus with bated breath?
Nay, tell aloud our loves: and if we fail
Of those soft claspings, where pain vanisheth,
The sword shall bring deliverance. Better far
One lot together, be it life or death.
