HINC LACHRIMAE; OR THE AUTHOR TO AURORA: 13 by WILLIAM BOSWORTH

First Line: AND THAT THOU MAY'ST REMEMBER THY DISDAIN
Last Line: HOW MUCH, AZILE, THOU HAST SCORN'D MY TEARS.
Subject(s): DISDAIN; LOVE - COMPLAINTS; SCORN;

And that thou may'st remember thy disdain,
Even these I wrote, that thou may'st read the same,
And there shalt find what just cause to complain
From thee I had, by thy unkindness came;
That so thou may'st be sorry for my harm,
And wet thy eyes; for once I know you lov'd me;
O let that love be to thy heart a charm:
But since nor pray'rs, nor vows, nor tears have mov'd thee,
Even these I wrote to show to future years,
How much, Azile, thou hast scorn'd my tears.
