Displeasure Tableau
Husband hurts dear wife
midst her great presence
while swooned by dame’s looks…
Displeasure reveals
angst of wounded heart
when temptation* wins.
*1Corinthians 10:13 ... God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
