MEN WERE DECEIVERS EVER, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: To fair lone callignotus swore
Last Line: While fond lone waits and weeps alone!
Alternate Author Name(s): Kallimachos


To fair lone Callignotus swore
None but herself to cherish or adore.
But men say truly that the Gods above
Laugh at the reckless perjuries of love—
See—the false boy to other lips has flown,
While fond lone waits and weeps alone!
