1. Shall I be banished though no crime I did commit?
And exiled though no sin my soul doth admit?

2. Except that true love dwelt within my heart,
And constancy towards you played its part.

3. I come to you with plaints that try my soul,
And hope from you a rebuke to make me whole.

4. Sweet water still doth fresher taste, they say,
If drunk from out the hollow of your hand it may.
