Since so ye please to hear me plain, And that ye do rejoice my smart, Me list no longer to remain To such as be so overthwart.

More than too much I am assured Of thine intent, whereto to trust; A speedless proof I have endured, And now I leave it to them that lust. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO A WATERFOWL by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT TO ROSAMONDE: A BALADE by GEOFFREY CHAUCER TO MY FIRST LOVE, MY MOTHER by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE ART OF PRESERVING HEALTH: BOOK 1.
