Mediocrity in love rejected

Give me more Love, or more Disdain,

the Torrid or the Frozen Zone

bring equall ease unto my pain,

the Temperate affords me none;

either extream of Love or Hate

is sweeter then a calme Estate.

Give me a store, if it be Love,

like Dana in that golden showre,

I swim in pleasure;

if it prove Disdain, that torrent

will devoure my vulture hopes,

and he's possest of Heav'n,

that's but from hell releast;

then Crown my joyes or Cure my pain,

give me more Love or more Disdain.
