That I might love you better.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cHow could I love you more?<\/span><\/p>\n

I would give up<\/span><\/p>\n

Even that beauty I have loved too well<\/span><\/p>\n

That I might love you better.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alas, how poor the gifts that lovers give \u2013<\/p>\n

I can but give you of my flesh and strength,<\/p>\n

I can but give you these few passing days<\/p>\n

And passionate words that since our speech began<\/p>\n

All lovers whisper in all ladies\u2019 ears.\u201d (p. 73)<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-search” add_icon=”true” title=”Source Link” tab_id=”1449531589797-29580b31-8c50094f-cf633609-202d”][vc_column_text css_animation=”left-to-right”]\n
