JUNE 5th (PRIDE STRIPT & WHIPT)

“It is better to go to a house of mourning
than to go to a house of feasting….
The mind of the wise is in the house of mourning, 
while the mind of fools is in the house of pleasure.”
—Ecclesiastes 7:2,4—

 The renewed joy of homosexuality
breeds old woes like all that does offend,
recalls to our memory our withering mortality,
and leaves us weeping, sunk in sorrow in the end.

An Elegy

“Whereon, much musing, makes me inly mourn,
And grieve almost that I a man was born.
(Yet hereupon I do desire that no man
Would gather that I long to be a woman.)”
