19. Wherein His Heart, by Laura Rejected, Must of a Certainty Perish Unless She Relent -
WHEREIN HIS HEART, BY LAURA REJECTED, MUST OF A CERTAINTY PERISH UNLESS SHE RELENT
A thousand times, O my sweet warrior,
Burning to purchase peace of those proud eyes,
Have I held forth the heart your heart denies,
Which your nobility will not bend for.
And if some other lady love it more,
Vain is her hope and false: what you despise
I must disdain, since what you do not prize
I spurn, and what you hate cannot adore.
Exiled by me, what then if it shall find
With you no word of mercy now or later,
And so, when others call it, stay behind,
Afraid to go, afraid of its dear hater?
Though guilt to both of us must be assigned,
It loves you more, and thus your guilt is greater.WHEREIN HIS HEART, BY LAURA REJECTED, MUST OF A CERTAINTY PERISH UNLESS SHE RELENT
