HINC LACHRIMAE; OR THE AUTHOR TO AURORA: 8, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: How oft have I been subject of thy scorn?
Last Line: To reassume thy late humanity.
Alternate Author Name(s): William Boxworth


How oft have I been subject of thy scorn?
How often kill'd by thy impetuous eyes?
How oft have I the warlike ensign borne
Of thy fierce heart, enur'd to cruelty?
So oft hast thou, after the tide was past,
Of disrespect, my heavy soul repriev'd
From that dejected state; so oft thou hast
Witnesst with vows, if vows may be believ'd:
O that I could thy former love descry,
To reassume thy late humanity.
