\nOr make Love see wherein I suffer wrong:
\nMy passions were enough to prove,
\nThat my despairs had govern’d me too long.
\nO Love, I live and die in thee,
\nThy grief in my deep sighs still speaks:
\nThy wounds do freshly bleed in me,
\nMy heart for thy unkindness breaks:
\nYet thou dost hope when I despair,
\nAnd when I hope, thou mak’st me hope in vain.
\nThou say’st thou canst my harms repair,
\nYet for redress, thou let’st me still complain.<\/p>\n
\nIs Love my judge, and yet I am condemn’d?
\nThou plenty hast, yet me dost scant:
\nThou made a God, and yet thy power contemn’d.
\nThat I do live, it is thy power:
\nThat I desire it is thy worth:
\nIf Love doth make men’s lives too sour,
\nLet me not love, nor live henceforth.
\nDie shall my hopes, but not my faith,
\nThat you that of my fall may hearers be
\nMay here despair, which truly saith,
\nI was more true to Love than Love to me.<\/p>\n
