Página 24 - ... So am not I, whom love, alas ! doth wring, Bringing before my face the great increase Of my desires, whereat I weep and sing, In joy and woe, as in a doubtful ease.

For my lord's guilt thus faultless bide I pains; Yet from my lord shall not my foot remove, — Sweet is his death that takes his end by love.
