The Friar speaks:
“Love moderately. Long love doth so.
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.”
…And receiving such gift late, wilt thou, friend
Endure the Wait and pardon this meagre heart?
For love in me held back - eternity, contained!-
Has life’s red reserve brought full to spill its art;
A wasteland fed and lonely days unstained.
Per Vicki’s request – for Dakota McCarty
Inspired by Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, Scene 6 [Friar Laurence’s cell]
