[So late removed from him she swore]

So late removed from him she swore,
With clasping arms and vows and tears,
In life and death she would adore,
While memory, fondness, bliss, endears.

Strike, mighty Love! strike, Vengeance! Soft!
Conscience must come and bring regret . .
These let her feel! . . nor these too oft!
