Arabian Poetry, by W. A. Clouston, [1881], at sacred-texts.com

p. 165

THOUGH such unbounded love you swear,
’Tis only art I see:
Can I believe that one so fair
Should ever doat on me?

Say that you hate, and freely show
That Age displeases Youth;
And I may love you, when I know
That you can tell the truth.
