XCIII.

Indeed the Idols I have loved so long
Have done my credit in this World much wrong:
    Have drown’d my Glory in a shallow Cup,
And sold my reputation for a Song.

XCIV.

I swore—but was I sober when I swore?
    And then and then came Spring, and Rose-in-hand
My thread-bare Penitence apieces tore.
