HIS RECANTATION, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Love, I recant
Last Line: And slave it in an houre.
Subject(s): Love - Complaints


Love, I recant,
And pardon crave,
That lately I offended,
But 'twas,
Alas,
To make a brave,
But no disdaine intended.

No more Ile vaunt,
For now I see,
Thou onely hast the power,
To find,
And bind
A heart that's free,
And slave it in an houre.
