ZEBILINE BY PHILLIPE DE MASA

ZEBILINE BY PHILLIPE DE MASA, V1

[IM#18][im18b10.txt]3931

Life goes on, and that is less gay than the stories

Men admired her; the women sought some point to criticise

ZEBILINE BY PHILLIPE DE MASA, V2

[IM#19][im19b10.txt]3932

Ambiguity has no place, nor has compromise

But if this is our supreme farewell, do not tell me so!

Chain so light yesterday, so heavy to-day

Every man is his own master in his choice of liaisons

If I do not give all I give nothing

Indulgence of which they stand in need themselves

Ostensibly you sit at the feast without paying the cost

Paris has become like a little country town in its gossip

The night brings counsel

You are in a conquered country, which is still more dangerous

ZEBILINE BY PHILLIPE DE MASA, V3

[IM#20][im20b10.txt]3933

All that was illogical in our social code

Only a man, wavering and changeable

Their Christian charity did not extend so far as that

There are mountains that we never climb but once
