The Music of Pyramus and Thisbe

Pyramus and Thisbe were lovers, but their parents forbade it. They had to converse by signs and glances. They discovered a crack in the wall between their two houses. It afforded a passage to the voice and they exchanged tender messages. * (tetrameter) I doubt this changed spot the same Where once our sweet white mulberry grew I doubt the fields can feel the sun Nor taste the early morning dew The wall between is thick and fast My ears seem deaf and young love past Yet lips must say that if a crack There be let loving words abound That as no touch or glance exists My soul might revel in a sound *Bullfinch Mythology
