| I KNOW not how to call you light, | |
| Since I myself was lighter; | |
| Nor can you blame my changing plight | |
| Who were the first inviter. | |
| |
| I know not which began to range | 5 |
| Since we were never constant; | |
| And each when each began to change | |
| Was found a weak remonstrant. | |
| |
| But this I know, the God of Love | |
| Both shake his hand against us, | 10 |
| And scorning says we ne’er did prove | |
| True passion—but pretences. | |
