You won't have then denied
Say if I'm not filled with joyousness

With royal kingdoms far scattering,

Of my chariot's single evening.

If Love's sweet languishment and chasten'd thought,
And wishes pure by nobler feelings taught,
If in a
labyrinth
wanderings long and vain,
If on the brow each pang pourtray'd to bear,
Or from the heart low broken sounds to draw,
Withheld by shame, or check'd by pious awe,
If on the faded cheek Love's hue to wear,
If than myself to hold one far more dear,
If sighs that cease not, tears that ever flow,
Wrung from the heart by all Love's various woe,
In absence if consumed, and chill'd when near,--
If these be ills in which I waste my prime,
Though I the sufferer be, yours, lady, is the crime.
