If the Inquisitor romances Cassandra they can acquire a book of poetry called Carmenum di Amatus as part of the quest line. The book has been banned by the Chantry.

The Inquisitor reads the following verse to Cassandra:

On aching branch do blossoms grow, the wind a hallowed breath.
It carries the scent of honeysuckle, sweet as the lover’s kiss.
It brings the promise of more tomorrows, of sighs and whispered bliss.

She then takes the book from them and reads this passage:

His lips on mine speak words not voiced, a prayer
Which travels down my spine like flames that shatter night.
His eyes reflect the heaven’s stars, the Maker’s light.
My body opens, filled and blessed, my spirit there.
Not merely housed in flesh, but brought to life.
