Ay, better, at my home in Hell,

To set for ay a burning spell

’Twixt me and memory, Rosaline!

Why wilt thou haunt me with thine eyes,

Wherein such blessed memories,

Such pitying forgiveness lies,

Than hate more bitter, Rosaline!

Woe’s me! I know that love so high

As thine, true soul, could never die,

And with mean clay in church-yard lie⁠—
