Beneath a humble name and garb—the which

My youthful riot and a father's frown,90

Too justly fixed upon me, had compelled

My bowed down spirit to assume too well—

Since it deceived the world, myself, and thee:

I linked my lot irrevocably with thine—

And I have loved thee deeply—long and dearly—

Even as I love thee still—but these late crosses,

And most of all the last,—have maddened me;

And I am wild and wayward as in youth,
