| <BLOCKQUOTE>That you were once unkind befriends me now,<BR> | |
| And for that sorrow which I then did feel<BR> | |
| Needs must I under my transgression bow,<BR> | |
| Unless my nerves were brass or hammer'd steel.<BR> | |
| For if you were by my unkindness shaken<BR> | |
| As I by yours, you've pass'd a hell of time,<BR> | |
| And I, a tyrant, have no leisure taken<BR> | |
| To weigh how once I suffered in your crime.<BR> | |
| O, that our night of woe might have remember'd<BR> | |
| My deepest sense, how hard true sorrow hits,<BR> | |
| And soon to you, as you to me, then tender'd<BR> | |
| The humble slave which wounded bosoms fits!<BR> | |
| But that your trespass now becomes a fee;<BR> | |
| Mine ransoms yours, and yours must ransom me.<BR> | |
