Wilfrid Scawen Blunt - The Love Sonnets Of Proteus. Part II: To Juliet: XLII
Work rating: Low

THE SAME CONTINUED
 We vex each other with our presence, I
 By my regrets and by my mocking face,
 You by your laughter and mad gaiety,
 And both by cruel thoughts of happier days.
 Is then the world so narrow that we pace
 These streets like prisoners still with eyes askance,
 As bound together in the fell embrace
 Of a dark chain which bars deliverance?
 Nay, go your ways. I will not vex you more.
 Make your own terms with life, while you are fair.
 There is none better learned in woman`s lore.
 You yet may take revenge on grief and care,
 And `twas your nature ever to be gay,
 Why should I scoff? Be merry while you may.
