1 Then hate me when thou wilt; if ever, now; 2 Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross, 3 Join with the spite of fortune, make me bow, 4 And do not drop in for an after-loss: 5 Ah, do not, when my heart hath 'scaped this sorrow, 6 Come in the rearward of a conquer'd woe; 7 Give not a windy night a rainy morrow, 8 To linger out a purpos'd overthrow. 9 If thou wilt leave me, do not leave me last, 10 When other petty griefs have done their spite 11 But in the onset come; so shall I taste 12 At first the very worst of fortune's might, 13 And other strains of woe, which now seem woe, 14 Compared with loss of thee will not seem so. |
