Love
To La Sanscœur
From A Victorian Anthology, 1837–1895, ed. Edmund Clarence Stedman (1895)
Love
I know not how to call you light,
Since I myself was lighter;
Nor can you blame my changing plight
Who were the first inviter.
I know not which began to range
Since we were never constant;
And each when each began to change
Was found a weak remonstrant.
But this I know, the God of Love
Doth shake his hand against us,
And scorning says we ne'er did prove
True passion — but pretences.
