The truth derided, and the faith betrayed,

And all thy perfidy?

Sometimes thou sayest—Come at eventide:

And when the evening falls, thou sayest—Dawn

Was when I called thee. Even when night is gone

I wait unsatisfied.

When in thy haughty ear they did commend

Me as the faithfullest of all thy train,

Thou saidst—I hold such lovers in disdain,

I scoff at such a friend.
