XL

  "Cruel, what sin can trouble thee, if thou

  Do'st not her murder who loved thee repent?

  If held so lightly be a breach of vow —

  Beneath what burden will thy heart be bent?

  What treatment will thine adversary know,

  If one who loves like me thou so torment?

  Justice is none in heaven, I well may say,

  If Heaven its vengeance for my wrongs delay.
