      "The first time that the sun rose on thine oath",
      "To love me, I looked forward to the moon",
      "To slacken all those bonds which seemed too soon",
      "And quickly tied to make a lasting troth.",
      "Quick-loving hearts, I thought, may quickly loathe;",
      "And, looking on myself, I seemed not one",
      "For such man's love!—more like an out-of-tune",
      "Worn viol, a good singer would be wroth",
      "To spoil his song with, and which, snatched in haste,",
      "Is laid down at the first ill-sounding note.",
      "I did not wrong myself so, but I placed",
      "A wrong on thee. For perfect strains may float",
      "'Neath master-hands, from instruments defaced,—",
      "And great souls, at one stroke, may do and doat."
