Hearts find little happiness in lust, Although therein lies life's most lavish pleasure. Perhaps one looks for love because one must, Pressed to seek a gift that one might treasure. Yet love and lust can complement each other, Finding each in each an answering grace: In lust a lonely fantasy of power Fulfilled within love's mutual embrace. Through marriage one preserves the best of blends, Having each to serve the other's ends.
