From "The Lover's Maze" by Peter Warlock and Thomas Campion
But wherefore should so fair a face
retain a heart so cruel?

Then despair, despair, aspiring thoughts,
to gain so rare a jewel!

But when I cull and clip and kiss,
methinks there hidden treasure is...

Which whispers in mine ear all this:
Love's flames require more fuel.
