Give me Peace
-------------

Give me peace, oh my jarring thoughs.
Its not enough that Love, Fate and Death
wage war all about me, and at my very gates,
without finding other enemies within?

And you, my heart, are you still as you were?
Disployal to me alone; for you harbor fierce spies,
and have allied yourself with my enimies, bold as they are.

In you love reveals secret messages,
In you hate boasts all her triumphs,
and Death awakens the memory of that blow
which must surely destroy all that remains of me;

In you gentle thoughts arm themselves lies;
Wherefore I charge you alone
guilty of all my ills.
