For to love her for her looks lovely My heart was set in thought right firmly, Trusting by truth to have had redress; But she hath made another promise And hath given me leave full honestly. Yet do I not rejoice it greatly, For on my faith I loved too surely; But reason will that I do cease For to love her. Since that in love the pains been deadly, Me think it best that readily I do return to my first address; For at this time too great is the press, And perils appear too abundantly For to love her. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BATTLEDORE AND SHUTTLECOCK by AMY LOWELL THE SCHOOL BOY, FR.
