Tear him for his bad verses.

Thy verses are eternal, O my friend, For he who reads them, reads them to no end

Every tear from every eye / Becomes a babe in Eternity.

The Satanic Verses.

The dearest idol I have known, Whatever that idol be, Help me to tear it from thy throne , And worship only thee.

Scarcely a tear to shed;Hardly a word to say;The end of a Summer's day;Sweet Love is dead.
