DUCHESS puts her hands over her face
Like all true lovers: Oh, I have done the tricks!
I know the partings and the chamberings;
We are all animals at best, and love
Is merely passion with a holy name.
It was not yet time;
Now it is time, and, like some green-faced girl,
Thou pratest of forgiveness.
I did not think to see you, but am glad,
That you may know the thing I mean to do.
