HINC LACHRIMAE; OR THE AUTHOR TO AURORA: 17, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Tell me how oft thou hast with serious voice
Last Line: If I have spoke, or wrote a word amiss.
Alternate Author Name(s): William Boxworth


Tell me how oft thou hast with serious voice
Vow'd for thy love no harm I should endure?
Tell me if erst thou didst not like thy choice,
And with thy vows didst crown our nuptials sure?
Tell me if once upon those blessed stairs,
The stairs my thought that guided unto Heaven,
When I surprised by thee unawares,
Had there thy love's assurance fully given;
Or if thou wilt not tell, yet say in this,
If I have spoke, or wrote a word amiss.
