By Apollo’s name I refuse thy burning passion
and so rid me of thine air of pestilence
I crave no warmth from thine bosom
and seek refuge in mine chamber alone
I do not mourn this loss for I had yet to desire it
and with these lines I say farewell to a love I had not loved
and so rid me of thine air of pestilence
I crave no warmth from thine bosom
and seek refuge in mine chamber alone
I do not mourn this loss for I had yet to desire it
and with these lines I say farewell to a love I had not loved
