Change thou thy way so evil begun,
And then my lute shall sound that same:

By thy desert their wonted way,
Blame not my lute.”

Robed in the long friends,
The grains beyond age, the dark veins of her mother,
Secret by the unmourning water
Of the riding Thames.
After the first death, there is no other.”

Since faith is dead,
And truth away
From you is fled?
Should I be led
With doubleness?”
