Oft Have I Vowed

Oft have I vowed how dearly I did love thee,

and oft observ'd thee with all willing duty.

Sighs I have sent still hoping to remove thee

millions of tears I tendered to thy beauty.

Yet thou, of sighs and silly tears regardless,

suff'rest my feeble heart to pine with anguish,

whilst all my barren hopes return rewardless

my bitter days do waste and I do languish.
