He delighted
In unrequited love.
A kiss uninvited
(With no desire by a girl to return)
May go unspurned
Where advantage To her is concerned.
For a facsimile is easily made
And homage to Mammon paid.

Note: I am aware that the word “unspurned” does not appear in the dictionary. I have, none the less chosen to use it, and by so doing (possibly) coined a new word.
Nothing wrong with inventing words, Kevin!
Thanks, Lucy! English is undoubtedly always in the process of change, but I doubt my new word will find its way into the dictionary, but who knows! Best, Kevin
All’s fair in love and words, Kevin
Sorry Chris, just spotted your comment. Indeed it is and, to be serious for a moment, english is an evolving language, unlike latin or ancient greek, neither of which, I regret to say can I speak.
Me neither, Kevin
