Yet did I love thee to the last

As fervently as thou,[ax]

Who didst not change through all the past,

And canst not alter now.

The love where Death has set his seal,

Nor age can chill, nor rival steal,[ay]

Nor falsehood disavow:[az]

And, what were worse, thou canst not see[ba]

Or wrong, or change, or fault in me.[bb]
