Dearest friend, I swear to you I’m loyal.

Oh, but are you? The eerie doubt creeps in.

Doubt shall creep no more; your trust I shan’t spoil.

Then with the callous truth you must begin!


I pray you believe this is misperceived.

Well, do pursue your train of thought, I say!

It was not ‘till his downfall was I peeved.

And by this have we been in such dismay.


And I beg of the to forgive such haste!

Does thou have reason for such forgiveness?

Does thou not see how I am so shamefaced?

I do, but I wonder, ‘are thou changeless?’


I do say again, I do swear to you….

I hope to decide without further ado.
