Of many an one,—engrossed of one sole mate.

The luckless hour I curse, in very deed,

When I, alas! said yea,

Vesture to change,—so fair in that dusk wede

I was and glad, whereas in this more gay

A weary life I lead,

Far less than erst held honest, welaway!

Ah, dolorous bridal day,

Would God I had been dead

Or e’er I proved thee in such ill estate!
