1 Those lips that Love's own hand did make 2 Breath'd forth the sound that said 'I hate' 3 To me that languish'd for her sake; 4 But when she saw my woeful state, 5 Straight in her heart did mercy come, 6 Chiding that tongue that, ever sweet, 7 Was us'd in giving gentle doom, 8 And taught it thus anew to greet: 9 'I hate' she alter'd with an end 10 That follow'd it as gentle day 11 Doth follow night, who like a fiend 12 From heaven to hell is flown away: 13 'I hate' from hate away she threw, 14 And sav'd my life, saying 'not you.' |
