DITTY by EDWARD HERBERT

First Line: DEEP SIGHS, RECORDS OF MY UNPITIED GRIEF
Last Line: I GIVE YOU LEAVE, BREAK TIME, BREAK HEART AND ALL.

DEEP sighs, records of my unpitied grief,
Memorials of my true, though hopeless love,
Keep time with my sad thoughts, till wish'd relief
My long despairs for vain and causeless prove.

Yet if such hap never to you befall,
I give you leave, break time, break heart and all.
