LOVE TURNED TO HATRED, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I will not love one minute more, I swear
Last Line: And all for thee---what, wilt thou love me yet?
Subject(s): Love


I WILL not love one minute more, I swear,
No, not a minute; not a sigh or tear
Thou gett'st from me, or one kind look agen,
Though thou shouldst court me to 't and wouldst begin.
I will not think of thee but as men do
Of debts and sins, and then I 'll curse thee too:

For thy sake woman shall be now to me
Less welcome than at midnight ghosts shall be:
I 'll hate so perfectly, that it shall be
Treason to love that man that loves a she;
Nay, I will hate the very good, I swear,
That's in thy sex, because it doth lie there;
Their very virtue, grace, discourse and wit,
And all for thee---what, wilt thou love me yet?
