Love Debt

I gave myself to him

And took himself for pay

To solemn contract of a life

Was rectified this way

The value might dissapoint

Myself a poorer prove

Then this my purchaser suspect

The daily own of love

Depreciate the sights

But till the merchant buy

Still fabled in island of spice

The subtle cargoes lie

At least this mutual risk

Some found it mutual gain

Secret debt of life each night to owe

In solvent every pain...
