She knelt in supplication bent, Before the altar, To repent, Appealing to her unseen God: Great Lord and her absolver. Her fingers clasped together sown with parchment skin, and knotted bones, Her prayer of sad petition groaned- An ardent plea to Jesus. She lit her candle, Paid her dues, And prayed for fifteen minutes, But answers none came from her God to help and comfort her. She lit her candle, Paid her dues, And prayed for half an hour, But silence was the answer from her God and comforter.
Dedicated to the Beloved Inspiratrice, whose physical manifestation blessed me with her beauty, friendship and presence. To do so would only lead to disrespect. The poet makes a declaration that he is incapable of erotic love in such a situation, as it involves a deception in marriage.
Neither would he wish to distract the lady from the promises she has made to her husband. Love requires honesty and faithfulness, and observance to such vows that have been freely taken. To take a lover whilst neglecting the duties of marriage mars the respect required for true love.
The beauty of the lady causes the poet to be unsure of the value of such morals when mesmerised by her company, until he is reminded of the universal and eternal nature of Beauty through his admiration of her physical form. He is then reminded that sexual desires are transitory in comparison to the constant and enduring love found in faithful and dependable friendship.
Circumstances could yield to the affection found in friendship to be lost or marred by the pursuit of such actions. Love cannot endure if it is only defined in terms of sexual love. There is a dual sense in the use of resign. Do not submit passively to love as there is thrill in the chase.

- What If?;
Do not relinquish vows whilst in wedlock. Such is the ambiguity of being in love. Abide in peace, fair moderate speech retain, And know through love the strength of trust remains. Let peace nurture the blessings of joy. Know this: true love is selfless and thinks rare, of else but what its counterpart may need, It finds through this its joy sufficient bears, and wavers not; from this is virtue deemed. Is love an ever fixed unchanging mark? I ask thee poet of your song inspired, Is truth found in the warbling of the lark?
If these truths cleave no poet need conspire, To cheat against his wife with bitter ire.
Respect in turn facilitates an enduring love to evolve. New lovers often claim in the heat of passion that their love will last forever, and that they will never part, being blinded to the realities of their changing situation, and not being fully aware of the person to whom they say it.
Constancy comes from the security of the recognition that, in spite of past disappointments, they will continuously make an attempt to discern the truth about their lover, once the ardour of first love begins to wane. Erotic love is an obsession focused only on the fulfilment of a self- projection. Constant love is born from the task to discern the person as they truly are.
The nature of this dedicated love ideally yields respect.
Respect involves honesty, causing the lovers to abjure hasty promises of eternal love, whilst being focused on the long term task of their mutual dedication to serve, and know each other better, in the ever present now. In this, love becomes a meaningful act, and is not offered merely as a caprice, with no basis or knowledge of the changing person involved.
Shakespeare implies love is a constant in a sea of troubles and changes in this life. Yet this makes no concession to the changing and evolving nature of love. The irony is Socratic, as it involves the raising of a question to which the questioner knows the answer.

Erotic "free" love viewed as a caprice contrasts with the emotional fulfilment which constant love may bring. There is an implication of "free love" leading to egocentric pettiness and insincere pleasures. This again contrasts with the morality and sincerity of dedicated love. In other words, he would not allow obstacles to prevent the coming together or marriage of true minds. I, however, make much of it in the above rejoinder. The first sense is that dedicated or constant lovers will, in order to maintain their love, be sincere and honest enough to confess their own weaknesses and shortcomings, and be honest and sincere enough to recognise and accept them in their lover also.
This might be difficult, but sincere lovers will try, if they are indeed committed to each other. As well as the concern to be sincere and honest in the admission of their own transgressions, or desires to transgress. A second sense is the notion that a man and wife should permit the recognition of obstacles to prevent transgressions. The vow of marriage is a pledge to be faithful and not merely to serve. In this, there is a sense of responsibility to duty in marriage, which the lovers should be constantly aware of.

A sense that the pledge delineates boundaries on how to behave and act, which should override any desires to engage in a caprice. This is an acceptance of the marriage troth as a freely given obstacle to the whims of fancy. A third sense is the duty to confess obstacles such as marriage vows to those who might seek to commit adultery.
In admitting or confessing obstacles or impediments to someone outside of the marriage, that person would either decline to engage the lover, thereby not permitting infidelity to arise, or they would chose to accept, whilst at least knowing the clear truth of the matter.

A relationship founded in love cannot be based on a lie. Harmony and agreement can be fostered between two people only if they speak with honesty and sincerity. This being accepted, the endeavour to be sincere and honest is the binding tie between two lovers in their committed relationship to each other. If these words are true, and taken on board, then Shakespeare would have had no cause to have been unfaithful to his wife in anger due to her infidelity. To take a lover in anger at the infidelity of one's wife is a cruelty, and not an act of love.
It is indicative of something worse than a mere caprice. Whilst near thy heart I feel the child of truth, As thy low voice soft whispers of our love, And in thine eyes, I see the light which proves, That none shall ever prise our bond apart, Or cause misunderstandings, or concerns, To mar the careful words which we impart.
Whilst in our chamber bed thy tresses fall, To frame the smile which I each day adorn, With kisses and with close affections small, Nine months attentive to our dream unborn. If love a cynic leaves I beg thee try, To nurture optimism ere ye die. Vows cannot bind two lovers to their love, Betrothal doth not tie my heart to thee. Love only sings the song of heaven above, Affections be the treasure of the free. My dearest friend who rests now by my side, I gladly serve as she doth tend to me, In serving thus we closely do abide, For in that joy we nurture liberty.
In marriage, a lover makes a declaration to serve honour and obey. Let the troth of love be a liberation of hearts in service, not a burden, nor an enforceable oath to serve and follow the other partner's demands. Service may be given freely in love, and is beautiful, but to enforce a freely held feeling destroys love once it is turned into an expectant command. The erotic love between a man and a woman, when they first meet, is primarily focused on little real knowledge of their partner, but the self- gratification of lust, and as a self- projection. Love will not last unless it is supported by constant affections, most often expressed in friendship.
In friendship, friends often expect little, and live only to please their friends. In this selfless service they glean pleasure for themselves. In doing this, they seek out their friends with time to share. In so doing, they glean the joy of service in pleasing their friends, which is a liberating experience. Constant love has its basis in friendship. It may be defined as the selfless and dedicated desire to freely serve, and helps discern the reality of their partner's nature as it is in itself, and not merely as a self- projection of their own desires.
Whilst love evolves and changes, constancy in love i. Astounding beauty, joy and light emanating from the eyes of the Beloved confers a sacrament of purifying grace to the heart. Such beauty does not blind the heart to virtues, but binds the hearts of lovers to attend to virtues. The virtues alluded to are kindness, affection, constancy and faithfulness.
Lest pride belie good dignity, And angry words endure. Be gentle and noble in the parting. Think of the virtues of love which your lover brought to you through their company and be satisfied. Help them to remember you at your best. Love is a gift which should not be demanded by anyone. Her arms with love adorned, now play with fingers small, but all things pass, and beauty must like youth, as she confesses grief. If waters then run dry, if love be false, I spake it not, I bear not false belief.
We all are perfect, imperfections see, Pray we can but embody what we be, Love fair, unite, lest hate makes souls depraved, And tarry not, For noughts won in the grave. Let us down the generations hold to love as we create, So the nature of that wisdom born within illuminates, Keep each heart felt affirmation, recognise its sacred rite, Pledge that we our children teach to honour, love and live aright.
Lovers shall recall the past, and call the future theirs, and live, When they bring new life to bear, and with their offspring share and give. Through their children love is passed in endless perpetuity, And in loving they too live in partial immortality. Through temperance wisdom lacks the flitting tongue, The wiser soul of youth too oft proclaims, A wealth of world perceptions to his shame, He doffs no cap to class, nor age, or name.
The measure of Wisdom is experience, and this helps teach the lessons of life, whilst recognising the attributes of innocence. Wisdom is the practical implementation of knowledge from experience given through the act of teaching. Failure of Wisdom to instruct Youth results only in the maintenance of Youth's ignorance. Failure results only in unfulfilled expectations; both as an emotional response, and as an attempt to induce unity. Separation results, filled by the gap of the hope for future fulfilment. Alternatively, Wisdom speaks with consideration, and offers focused responses, unlike Youth, who jumps from one issue to another due to a lack of depth or appreciation of the topic in hand.

Alternatively, Wisdom too may consider he has a wealth of knowledge gleaned over the course of a life. Youth cannot learn if Wisdom does not speak. Wisdom must display that experience over exuberance finally tells. Deceptions arise from the assumption Wisdom lacks enthusiasm in the weight of its silent knowledge, or lacks in terms of its physical attributes. Wisdom is deceived if it presumes Youth has attributes it does not have based on the glamour of its physical attributes, or its enthusiastic speech which lacks a more weighty measure, or is coloured by excessive zeal.
