ABOUT HIMSELF (2), by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I am not now what I have been
Last Line: No better service could you have.


I AM not now what I have been,
And I shall be so never more;
My spring and summer tide, I ween,
Have flown away and slammed the door.
Love, you have been my lord of yore;
To you I strictest homage gave,
And if I could be born twice o'er,
No better service could you have.
