AGAINST INDIFFERENCE by CHARLES WEBBE

First Line: MORE LOVE OR MORE DISDAIN I CRAVE
Last Line: MORE LOVE OR MORE DISDAIN I CRAVE.
Subject(s): DESIRE; INDIFFERENCE; LOVE;

MORE love or more disdain I crave;
Sweet, be not still indifferent:
O send me quickly to my grave,
Or else afford me more content!
Or love or hate me more or less,
For love abhors all lukewarmness.

Give me a tempest if 'twill drive
Me to the place where I would be;
Or if you'll have me still alive,
Confess you will be kind to me.
Give hopes of bliss or dig my grave:
More love or more disdain I crave.
