Else why should I complain of this mischance, had it not been contrary to thy vows? With tears thou mad'st them, and what furtherance, Of signs were more, Heav'n's ruler only knows. Heav'n knows my faith, how I have loyal been, And have not broke the smallest string of love. To see my constance will augment thy sin, How loyal I, how wav'ring thou dost prove; But 'twas thy will, that I thy favour mist: I'm thine, and thou may'st use me as thou list. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GRAVE OF HOMER by ALCAEUS OF MESSENE INVOCATION by CHARLES BAUDELAIRE PRIVATE DEVOTION by PHOEBE HINSDALE BROWN HALBERT AND HOB by ROBERT BROWNING THE MOURNING MUSE OF THESTYLIS by LODOWICK BRYSKETT |
