Ask Me No More / Give Me More Love (Т. Кэрью) «Серафим Полубес и другие жители Земли»
Ask me no more where those stars' light That downwards fall in dead of night; Ask me no more if east or west The Phoenix builds her spicy nest; For unto you at last she flies, And in your fragrant bosom dies.
Give me more love or more disdain; The torrid or the frozen zone Bring equal ease unto my pain, The temperate affords me none:
Either extreme of love or hate, Is sweeter than a calm estate. Give me more love or more disdain; The torrid or the frozen zone
Bring equal ease unto my pain, The temperate affords me none: Either extreme of love or hate, Is sweeter than a calm estate.
Give me a storm; if it be love, Like Danae in that golden shower, I swim in pleasure; if it prove Disdain, that torrent will devour
My vulture-hopes; and he's possess'd Of heaven, that's but from hell released. Give me a storm; if it be love, Like Danae in that golden shower,

Ask me no more where those stars' light That downwards fall in dead of night; For in your eyes they sit, and there Fixed become as in their sphere. Ask me no more if east or west The Phoenix builds her spicy nest; For unto you at last she flies, And in your fragrant bosom dies.
Give me more love or more disdain; The torrid or the frozen zone Bring equal ease unto my pain, The temperate affords me none.
