Fool as I was, to think your Flame was true,

True as th’ Excessive Love I bear to you!

T’ encrease my Torments all your Acts incline;

To make me wretched is your whole Design.

Nor wou’d your Passion any Ease allow,

If only grounded on my Love for you:

But I’m so far ev’n from that poor Pretence,

Six Months are past since you departed hence;

Six tedious Melancholy Months are gone,

And I’ve not been so much as thought upon:
