    Flee from this Love, you lovers; flee the flame!
    The burning's bitter, and trauma kills.
    After the encounter, ills on ills
    there's no evading by vigor, wit, or distance.
    So flee! proof's everywhere of vain resistance
    against his sharpened arrow, his mighty arm;
    just look at me: what enormity of harm
    awaits in Love's grim godforsaken game.
    Flee, and don't lose a moment. Now! No turning!
    I thought I'd have my way with Love at will;
    you see me chained to the stake, and burning, burning...
