This Ladys Cruelty

 WITH how sad steps, O moon, thou climb'st the skies! 
How silently, and with how wan a face! 
What! may it be that even in heavenly place 
That busy archer his sharp arrows tries? 
Sure, if that long-with-love-acquainted eyes 
Can judge of love, thou feel'st a lover's case: 
I read it in thy looks; thy languish'd grace 
To me, that feel the like, thy state descries.
 
Then, even of fellowship, O Moon, tell me, 
Is constant love deem'd there but want of wit? 
Are beauties there as proud as here they be? 
Do they above love to be loved, and yet 
 Those lovers scorn whom that love doth possess? 
 Do they call 'virtue' there--ungratefulness?
