| <BLOCKQUOTE>Those lips that Love's own hand did make<BR> | |
| Breathed forth the sound that said 'I hate'<BR> | |
| To me that languish'd for her sake;<BR> | |
| But when she saw my woeful state,<BR> | |
| Straight in her heart did mercy come,<BR> | |
| Chiding that tongue that ever sweet<BR> | |
| Was used in giving gentle doom,<BR> | |
| And taught it thus anew to greet:<BR> | |
| 'I hate' she alter'd with an end,<BR> | |
| That follow'd it as gentle day<BR> | |
| Doth follow night, who like a fiend<BR> | |
| From heaven to hell is flown away;<BR> | |
| 'I hate' from hate away she threw,<BR> | |
| And saved my life, saying 'not you.'<BR> | |
