Sinistrous

All the things I do in care of you
Are done for you: do not think otherwise.
And yet don't let it come as a surprise
That there's another motive when I woo.
I do not mean a sinister, untrue
Or vicious motive. Nothing that defies
The bounds of morals, you must realize,
Comes into what I say or what I do.
But everything I do for you is meant
To make me happy too when it is done;
So when my efforts seemingly are bent
Only to give you pleasure, joy, or fun,
Be sure that I take pleasure also there
For that's the other motive of my care.
