Portrait of John Suckling John Suckling,  The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse… (1910)

“ That love hath wings and soars aloft.
Then let me grow in my desire,
Though I be martyr'd in that fire;
For grace it is enough for me,
But only to love such as he:⁠20
For never shall my thoughts be base,
Though luckless, yet without disgrace:
Then let him that my love shall blame
Or clip love's wings, or quench love's flame.
