There was a lord who fell in love with a married woman. The lord put out her husband\u2019s eyes, for surely she would not love a man who could not see her beauty, but still love him she did. The lord then cut off her husband\u2019s ears, for surely she would not love a man who did not listen to her, but still love him she did. The lord then cut off her husband\u2019s tongue, for she surely would not love a man who would not tell her he loved her, but still love him she did.<\/p>\n
Finally the lord cut out her husband\u2019s heart, for surely she would not love a man who was dead. But still love him she did, now more than ever.<\/p>\n
And the lord never did win her love.<\/p>\n
