by Thomas Carew (1595? - 1639?)
Give me more love, or more disdaine
Language: English
Give me more love, or more disdaine; The Torrid, or the frozen zone, Bring equall ease unto my paine; The temperate affords me none: Eigher extreme, of love, or hate, Is sweeter than a calm estate. Then crowne my joyes, or cure my paine; Give me more love, or more disdaine.
