My Love
My love is deeper than the Red Sea.
From which the Egyptian corpses neither breathe nor see.
More rapid than the tides of Tiber!
That chide and shock great Caesar who did wither.
The Garden of Eden has no sweeter fruit,
Nor medicine or even healing root,
That can compare to my love that gives the earth rotten teeth,
Nor any other medicine to end earth’s weeps.
