Was in your love that made such long default

To self,—Heaven deems you sinless! but a pain

Is on my soul, and shadow of guilt threefold:

First, in your fair life, fettered by my hold;

“Then in the ceaseless wrong I do the Queen,

Who worships me, unknowing; worse than all,

To wear before the world this painted mien!

See to it: on my head some bolt will fall!

We have sweet memories of the good years past,

Now let this secret league no longer last.”
