| | | AH, ten times worse tormented than before! | |
| Ten times more pity shouldst thou take of me! | |
| I have endured; then, Sweet! restore | |
| That pleasure, which procured this pain! | |
| Thou scorn’st my lines! (a Saint, which make of thee!) | 5 |
| Where true desires of thine hard heart complain, | |
| There thou, ’bove STELLA placed; | |
| ’Bove LAURA; with ten thousand more installed: | |
| And now, proud, thinks me graced, | |
| That am to thee (though merciless!) enthralled. | 10 | | | |
