First Line: Daphnis dearest, wherefore weave me
Last Line: Damn me, dear, but don't deceive me!
Alternate Author Name(s): Nesbit, E.; Bland, Mrs. Hubert
Subject(s): Truth
Daphnis dearest, wherefore weave me
Webs of lies lest truth should grieve me?
I could pardon much, believe me:
Dower me, Daphnis, or bereave me,
Kill me, kill me, love me, leave me --
Damn me, dear, but don't deceive me!
