SONG by WILLIAM CONGREVE

Poet Analysis

First Line: FALSE THOUGH SHE BE TO ME AND LOVE
Last Line: I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE PAST.
Subject(s): UNFAITHFULNESS;
FALSE though she be to me and love,
I'll ne'er pursue revenge;
For still the charmer I approve,
Though I deplore her change.

In hours of bliss we oft have met:
They could not always last;
And though the present I regret,
I'm grateful for the past.
