Last Line: "and not yet concluded! Have conscience, my dear!"
Subject(s): Women
You say at your feet I wept in despair,
And vowed that no angel was ever so fair:
How could you believe all the nonsense I spoke?
What know we of angels?—I meant it in joke.
I next stand indicted for swearing to love
(And nothing but death should my passion remove):
I have liked you a twelvemonth, a calendar year:
And not yet contented!—Have conscience, my dear!
