Give me more love, or more disdaine

Give me more love, or more disdaine;
The Torrid, or the frozen zone,
Bring equall ease unto my paine;
The temperate affords me none:
Eigher extreme, of love, or hate,
Is sweeter than a calm estate.
Then crowne my joyes, or cure my paine;
Give me more love, or more disdaine.

by Thomas Carew (1595?-1639?)
