Lazy Savior {Suna Rintaro}

XXXX

a/n: I tried to summarize the play, I'm sorry if it's too long, if you're not interested in the story just read the ending of the play 'cause it's important! :)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EVEN as the sun with a purple-colored face
Had ta'en his last leave of the weeping morn,
Rosy-cheeked Adonis hied him to the chase;
Hunting he loved, but love he laughed to scorn;
Sick-thoughted Venus makes amain unto him

"Thrice-fairer than myself" I said, " 'Thou wonder, to alight thy steed, and rein his proud head to the saddle-bow; Here come and sit, where never serpent hisses, and being set, I'll smother thee with kisses, ten kisses short as one, one long as twenty: A summer's day will seem an hour but short, being wasted in such time-beguiling sport."

Being so enraged, desire doth lend her force
Courageously to pluck him from his horse.
She red and hot as coals of glowing fire,
He red for shame, but frosty in desire.

"Oh how quick is love"

So fastened in her arms Adonis lies;
Pure shame and awed resistance made him fret,
Which bred more beauty in his angry eyes
Still, she entreats, and prettily entreats,
For to a pretty ear, she tunes her tale;
Still is he sullen, still, he lours and frets
Look how he can, she cannot choose but love

"O, pity," I pretended to whine, "Flint-hearted boy! This but a kiss I beg; why art thou coy?" Why this sound so familiar?

"I have been wooed, as I entreat thee now, even by the stern and direful god of war, been my captive and my slave" Yuuma spoke "O, be not proud, nor brag not of thy might, for mastering her that foiled the god of fight!"

"Touch but my lips with those fair lips of thine, the kiss shall be thine own as well as mine." I answered

"Fie, no more of love! The sun doth burn my face: I must remove."

"Ay me," I said, "young, and so unkind? What bare excuses makest thou to be gone!"

"I know not love" quoth he "nor will not know it, Unless it be a boar, and then I chase it, dismiss your vows, your feigned tears, your flattery, for where a heart is hard they make no battery."

"Had I no eyes but ears, my ears would love, that inward beauty and invisible or were I deaf, thy outward parts would move each part in me that were but sensible.

And at his look, she flatly falleth down,
For looks kill love and love by looks revived;
The silly boy, believing she is dead,
Claps her pale cheek, till clapping makes it red;
To mend the hurt that his unkindness marred:
He kisses her; and she, by her goodwill,
Her two blue windows faintly she up-heaveth,

"O, where am I?" I said, "in earth or heaven, or in the ocean drenched, or in the fire? O, thou didst kill me: kill me once again"

"Now let me say 'Good night,' and so say you; if you will say so, you shall have a kiss."

"Good night"

He now obeys, and now no more resisteth,
While she takes all she can, not all she listeth.
For pity now she can no more detain him;
The poor fool prays her that he may depart:

"Sweet boy," I spoke, "this night I'll waste in sorrow, shall we meet tomorrow?"

He tells her, no; to-morrow he intends
To hunt the boar with certain of his friends.
