1. You left me weak and went away restored,
Wait! I implore you, this is not how the faithful part.

2. Why not recall the nights we spent together,
Tending the stars and binding troths?

3. How can you turn away now after we were one,
Far be it from one like you to break vows sworn.

4. Have you forgot the prime of our youth,
When we gave succor, and succor was born?

5. Now I go, though strong in passion still,
While my heart lies lifeless, limp, and still.

6. You've found a new love on which to lie,
While mine knows not where comfort may bide.

7. If in love you had kept faith, you'd have spared me,
Or if in passion you knew equity's side.

8. Will you be sustained, while I am deprived?
Will you know bounty, while I want and hide?

9. I refused warmth, while you the coals embrace
I frozen in the cold, but you know love's grace.

10. It isn't right to refuse one's beloved,
But right is the one who takes in haste.

11. You have halved my burden, and left me still,
Bearing sorrow doubled from passions noised.

12. Let today's bliss make you blind, for I
Will remain, though forsaken, dignified.
