Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHHO call not me to justify the wrong | A |
That thy unkindness lays upon my heart | B |
Wound me not with thine eye but with thy tongue | C |
Use power with power and slay me not by art | B |
Tell me thou lov'st elsewhere but in my sight | D |
Dear heart forbear to glance thine eye aside | E |
What need'st thou wound with cunning when thy might | D |
Is more than my o'erpress'd defence can bide | E |
Let me excuse thee ah my love well knows | F |
Her pretty looks have been mine enemies | G |
And therefore from my face she turns my foes | F |
That they elsewhere might dart their injuries | G |
Yet do not so but since I am near slain | H |
Kill me outright with looks and rid my pain | H |
