"The grief is in my breast, because

I have not always been as kind

As woman should, by nature's laws,

But showed sometimes a wilful mind,

Carping at straws.

"While he, perhaps, with larger eyne,

Was pleased, instead of vexed, at seeing

Some little petulance in mine,

And loved me all the more, for being;

Not too divine.

"Until the pride became a snare,

The reason a deceit, wherein

I dallied face to face with sinh

And made a mortal pair.

VI

"Dark sin, the deadly foe of love,

All bowers of bliss thou shalt infest,

Implanting thorns the flowers above,

And one black feather in the breast

Of purest dove.
