When I Loved You

By Thomas Moore


WHEN I loved you, I can’t but allow
I had many an exquisite minute;
But the scorn that I feel for you now
Hath even more luxury in it!

Thus, whether we’re on or we’re off,	5
Some witchery seems to await you;
To love you is pleasant enough,
And oh! ’t is delicious to hate you!
