False! or Inconstancy

by (1670–1729)

Listen in the reader

False though she be to me and love, I'll ne'er pursue revenge; For still the charmer I approve, Though I deplore her change.

In hours of bliss we oft have met, They could not always last; And though the present I regret, I'm grateful for the past.
