These things that poets said
Of love seemed true me
When I loved and I fed
On love poetry equally.

But now I wish I knew
If were love indeed,
Or if mine were the true
theirs some other lovely weed:

For certainly not thus,
or thereafter, I
Loved ever. Between us
Decide, good Love, before I die.

Only, that once I loved
By one argument
Is very plainly proved:
I, loving not, different.
