Because the words “yet” or “but” provide purpose for connecting these unrelated ideas.

The unrelated ideas being her sorrow or toil and her desire, right? So you are saying that a “normal” conjunction of “and” would require the two ideas being joined to logically follow one from the other or otherwise be related. I guess that makes sense. So why would the next conjunction to “he rule over you” be appropriate? How is his rule related to or logically follow her desire if it is a neutral or good thing? Or do you not agree with “and” at this point either?
