Poet Analysis

First Line: O MISERABLE SORROW WITHOUTEN CURE!
Last Line: AS WAS MY PLEASURE WHEN SHE WAS PRESENT.
Subject(s): GRIEF; HOPE; VOICES; SORROW; SADNESS; OPTIMISM;
O miserable sorrow withouten cure,
If it please thee, lo, to have me thus suffer,
At least yet let her know what I endure,
And this my last voice carry thou thither
Where lived my hope now dead forever;
For as ill grievous is my banishment
As was my pleasure when she was present.
