The Inconstant
Cease, Faithless, cease reproaching me,
With your own lov'd Inconstancy.
Unless, while you such Change pursue,
You think, ev'n Constancy is new ,
And that your Heart , so us'd to roam,
A Stranger were become, at Home .
I left you not, but you, inclin'd to stray ,
Call my removing that, which was my stay .
Thus they, that leave the Shore behind,
Call the removing Land unkind,
As if it did from them recede ,
When they , in truth from it are fled .
And thus with Old Men it appears,
In the Travel of many Years.
With like Truth, they the World for changing blame,
Themselves still changing , and the World the same .
With your own lov'd Inconstancy.
Unless, while you such Change pursue,
You think, ev'n Constancy is new ,
And that your Heart , so us'd to roam,
A Stranger were become, at Home .
I left you not, but you, inclin'd to stray ,
Call my removing that, which was my stay .
Thus they, that leave the Shore behind,
Call the removing Land unkind,
As if it did from them recede ,
When they , in truth from it are fled .
And thus with Old Men it appears,
In the Travel of many Years.
With like Truth, they the World for changing blame,
Themselves still changing , and the World the same .
