“If it is true that you love,” said Love, “then wait no longer. Give
her these jewels which would dishonour her and so dishonour you in
loving one dishonoured. If it is true that you love,” said Love, “then
wait no longer.”
I took the jewels and went to her, but she trod upon them, sobbing:
“Teach me to wait—I love you!”
“Then wait, if it is true,” said Love.
