HINC LACHRIMAE; OR THE AUTHOR TO AURORA: 24, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Yet many will conjecture much amiss
Last Line: Thou may'st conceive the greatest harm is mine.
Alternate Author Name(s): William Boxworth


Yet many will conjecture much amiss,
Because my love so slowly is requited,
Each spiteful Satyr will surmise by this,
Thou hat'st me 'cause my pains have thee delighted;
But let them please themselves with thought thereof,
And with their wits ascribe their own applause,
I free from anger at their harms will laugh, --
For some vex most when none will give them cause, --
That when thou seest how loyal I am thine,
Thou may'st conceive the greatest harm is mine.
