may my love for You be wholly re-born.
And may it not wither or even fade away
like a fragrant flower that’s had its day.

the furious jealous wife
has this to ask: what does that bitch have

To its mother, a child is not cheap
Because it was born of a lowly husband,
Or from a secret or illicit affair.
She sees it as wholly hers, not as his.
