7. To Hyllus
Yesterday you gave a kiss,
Now from me you fly:
Tell me, pray, the cause of this
Wanton cruelty.
‘I am growing old,’—you say,
And must careful be.’
Nay, it was but yesterday
When you kissed me!
Now from me you fly:
Tell me, pray, the cause of this
Wanton cruelty.
‘I am growing old,’—you say,
And must careful be.’
Nay, it was but yesterday
When you kissed me!
