[title] => The rumor that spread my love

[hometext] => This poem reveals the effect of a rumor that spreads a man`s love.
[bodytext] => With the same rumor`s rise my precious life stands fast Good fortune is granted to many who know this not The village gave this rumor, which made her my person Unfolding all the rareness of the maid, with flower like vision If the rumor spreads round the town, is it not gain to me? It is as though something will be obtained, that may not be This rumor rising from the village makes my love to rise My love will lose its power, and will languish otherwise The more one drinks, the more thy ever drunk would be The more my love is revealed, the sweeter it is to me I saw her but one day, when the rumor had spread soon As darkness spreads, if the dragon swallows the moon My anguish grows apace, beyond the town`s report Manures it and my mother`s words even doth water it With butter and oil, to extinguish fire! “it will prove It is very much harder by scandal, to extinguish love When thy who said ‘Fear not!’ hath left me blamed While many shrink, from rumor can I hide ashamed? If we desire, that our love will grant what we require This town sends forth the rumor that we desire!
