I would have gouged her eye
To serve on her my turn 
But doubt it won't break the aspiring tie
Though I thought she was but in fear
Of her doubt in words ladies hear 
Yet, my response will never thought to be made 
To one who stands not for others in the world 
And this tongue of flame could have ceased to flicker
The true nature of my charming  heart desire
But since, up from the ages past 
No one has ever yet 
Withstand the grief of regret
Turned encouraging unless had tried out his best 
If what I know is true
Being cajoled will never break my flue 
For at my back, I always hear
Age's pennate cart hastening near...
