LOVE OR DEATH, by PAULUS SILENTIARIUSPoet's Biography
First Line: Shall we for ever stealing looks of fire Last Line: One lot together, be it life or death. Alternate Author Name(s): Paul The Silent; Paul The Silentiary
SHALL we for ever stealing looks of fire Fling covert glances thus with bated breath? Nay, tell aloud our loves: and if we fail Of those soft claspings, where pain vanisheth, The sword shall bring deliverance. Better far One lot together, be it life or death.
