Eugene Field

Quitting Again

The hero of
Affairs of love
By far too numerous to be mentioned,
And scarred as I’m,
It seemeth time
That I were mustered out and pensioned.
 
So on this wall
My lute and all
I hang, and dedicate to Venus;
And I implore
But one thing more
Ere all is at an end between us.
 
O goddess fair
Who reignest where
The weather’s seldom bleak and snowy,
This boon I urge:
In anger scourge
My old cantankerous sweetheart, Chloe!
