A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 33, by             Poet's Biography
First Line: Aye me! That love should natures works accuse
Last Line: A grief, o death! To live and love in vain.
Subject(s): Love – Unrequited


AYE me! that love should Nature's work accuse!
Where cruel Laura still her beauty views,
River, or cloudy jet, or crystal bright,
Are all but servants of her self-delight.

Yet her deformed thoughts she cannot see;
And that's the cause she is so stern to me.
Virtue and duty can no favour gain:
A grief, O death! to live and love in vain.
