LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 52, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: They often have vex'd me sadly
Last Line: She only her love ne'er vouchsafed.
Subject(s): Curses; Hate; Love


THEY often have vex'd me sadly
And worried me early and late;
While some with their love have annoy'd me.
The others pursued me with hate.

My bread they have utterly poison'd,
And poison'd my cup too of late;
While some with their love have annoy'd me,
The others pursued me with hate.

But she who more than all others
Has vex'd me, and worried, and chafed,
She only with hate ne'er pursued me,
She only her love ne'er vouchsafed.
