Hath no relief

In being wrung from a great happiness.

Would I had never filled thine eyes with love,

For love is only tears: would I had never

Breathed such a curse-like blessing as we prove;

Now, if "Farewell" could bless thee, I would sever!

Would I were laid

Under the shade

Of the cold tomb, and the long grass forever!
