************** From the conversation I overheard ***********

F.
For if I'm asked not to speak and allow you sway this day,
I yet may have the final word and say:
I shall be bound to unfold your demands
and therein free myself from guilt
but cover you deeper,
up to the hilt.

************************************************************

M. As above so below

S. Is that the way love doth grow, by threat, and note;

M. Note that from me your life doth flow and my blood-love shall override that whore you chose so oft to ride.

S.
But whore is mother to us all
and in herself doth all blood flow
and surely I am not amiss
to want to bath is such a bliss,
so though I have fathered I say nay to you for what you ask - I laugh,
I will not disgrace
what love is left for her to take.

F.

unlike those prickly shining stars,
though not yet ripe ~ the bow doth bend
and shows it's love for life's intent.
As summer goes the fruit doth grow
and as autumn falls new life calls
