My days of love are over: me no more
The charms of maid, wife, and still less of widow,

My days of love are over: me no more
The charms of maid, wife, and still less of widow,

Who lets it hop a little from her hand,
Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves,
And with a silk thread plucks it back again.
