Their peace and comfort, thou canst drive away;
Suffer not scornful harsh disdain to keep
Far from their eyelids sweet refreshing sleep.
But if the prayers of him who was thy friend
Have never, traitorous Love, been heard by thee,
To these of mine thou wilt no hearing lend,
For I thy foe am, and shall ever be;
Thy character, thy works of evil end,
Whereof is witness all humanity,
Lead me to expect not from thy hand a wealth
