rigour-cup

Updated: May 21, 2025

"Love's votaries I ceased not to oppose, * Till doomed to taste Love's bitter and Love's sweet: I drained his rigour-cup to very dregs, * Self humbled at its slaves' and freemen's feet: Fortune had sworn to part the loves of us; * She kept her word how truly, well I weet!"
