Wilfrid Scawen Blunt - The Love Sonnets Of Proteus. Part I: To Manon: XXI
Work rating: Low

HIS BONDAGE TO MANON IS BROKEN
 From this day forth I lead another life,
 Another life! A life without a tear!
 To--day has ended the unequal strife;
 My service and my sorrow finish here.
 See, my soul cuts her cable of belief
 And sails towards the ocean. She shall steer
 Sublime henceforth o`er accidents of grief.
 Her storm has rolled to a new Hemisphere.
 I have loved too much, too loyally, too long.
 To--day I am a pirate of the sea.
 Let others suffer. I have suffered wrong.
 Let others love, and love as tenderly.
 Oh, Manon, there are women yet unborn
 Shall rue thy frailty, else am I forsworn.
