Libel Or Slander, I Love Thee

...And so once more I summon this courage to write of thy frame... Though I wonder if this time I would not be seriously charged for libel. Albeit the last time I spoke of thee just like this one the very same, I was adjudged for slander... But still, the courage to conceal how much it is I think of thee, Has never found a root in my heart; Then how could it the least grow to take thy thoughts from me?! It matters not what thou thinkest... Someday thou might well understand. "Name as many allegations in the book of law: none of them has right over a faultless love!"
