Mediocritie in love rejected
Give me more love or more disdain;The torrid, or the frozen zone,Bring equal ease unto my pain;The temperate affords me none;Either extreme, of love, or hate,Is sweeter than a calm estate.
Give me a storm; if it be love,Like Danae in that golden show'rI swim in pleasure; if it proveDisdain, that torrent will devourMy vulture-hopes; and he's possess'dOf heaven, that's but from hell releas'd.
Then crown my joys, or cure my pain;Give me more love, or more disdain.
