Gentle Love and Care

The gentlest show of love and care
I wouldn't advise one to dare
For remaining the All - Time Rare:
What the giver receives not fair
Behind his back dismissed like fool
Or thought keeper of Piteous Rules;
Not infrequently a mere tool 
Of the one enjoying King's Stool
All True Lovers have to time bide
While they are struck on every side
Or try to hurt emotions hide
As the others do the long ride.
