Classic Poem

I.

For our Love, you requite us all,
Repaying Love to none;
Since still, your Scorn is general,
You Wrong not any one;

II.

One Way your Rigour pleases me,
If I cannot have you,
Nor in your Love can Happy be
I'm so, since none are so;

III.

For if your Love were Singular,
'Twere Public Injury;
Since none of you deserving are,
'Tis just to let all Die;

IV.

Your Cruelty does Kindness prove,
Your Scorn grows Charity;
Who, since to none you show True Love,
To none give Jealousie.
