SLANDER, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: They chide at me, and say
Last Line: To wither and be pining?
Alternate Author Name(s): Ibn Hazm Al-andalusi; Abdalusi, Ibn Hazm Al-


They chide at me, and say
My love is sickly slender;
But I will not obey
The sly reproofs they tender.

Will not the bough whereon
The sun is ever shining
Be very apt anon
To wither and be pining?
