The Great Mirror of Same-Sex Love - Poetry - 70. ...an unexhausted stream...
.
Keen are the pangs
Of hapless love and passion unapproved;
But where consenting wishes meet, and vows,
Reciprocally breathed, confirm the tie,
Joy rolls on joy, an unexhausted stream,
And virtue crowns the sacred scene with peace.
Tobias Smollett,[i]
1750s
