First Line: O hymen! O hymenee! Why do you tantalize me thus?
Last Line: Would soon certainly kill me?


O hymen! O hymenee! why do you tantalize me thus?
O why sting me for a swift moment only?
Why can you not continue? O why do you now cease?
Is it because if you continued beyond the swift moment you
would soon certainly kill me?
