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.
