Who Has Two Loves

A man who has two loves
Is like a man who serves two masters

When he is loving the first one
The other is hated and despised
When he rushes to the second one 
The first is betrayed with lies

Suspicion and rumor alone will grieve
But when he is found disguised
The fire enlarges and scorn receives
The soul of him who dies

Yes, this slave runs to his disaster
When he serves two loves
