"son gone" #6




Accept a revolter
a tongue-doughty me
not thy subject confes't and bound
notoriety never did thee harm

Thee only seeking among the daughters
in your city, under pretense of friends
(to tell them my secret)
I proposed

It was the force of conquest
I, a private person, gave up
Presumed servile, to my part assigned
and performed it, though by blindness
