Song: ‘More love or more disdain I crave’Charles Webbe (c. 1678)
M
Sweet, be not still indifferent:
O send me quickly to my grave,
Or else afford me more content.
Or love or hate me more or less,
For love abhors all lukewarmness.
Me to the place where I would be;
Or if you’ll have me still alive,
Confess you will be kind to me.
Give hopes of bliss or dig my grave:
More love or more disdain I crave.
