MYRRHA

I am the queen Arabian.

The tears wherewith mine eyelids ran

Smelt like my perfumed eyelids' smell.

A harsh thirst made my soft mouth hard,

That ached with kisses afterward;

My brain rang like a beaten bell.

As tears on eyes, as fire on wood,

Sin fed upon my breath and blood,

Sin made my breasts subside and swell.
