The councils of elders have drawn forth the course.
sonnets of the ages spoken its worth
for war, for treason, for mutiny, worth
Love without consent verboten to worse
In times when Love had power to yield
to err or to gather without wielding
too much of force and so much of violence
whereas Love was a measure of doe eyed plight
cast over oceans fit to be addled
by none. Nor drenched of its promise of heart
where the streams of pliant shadows blurt
festive and parading lambs wool alert
Love has at once disaster foreseen since
Love without license is Loveless instance
