THEN hate me when thou wilt; if ever, now; br Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross, br Join with the spite of fortune, make me bow, br And do not drop in for an after loss: br Ah! do not, when my heart hath 'scaped this sorrow, br Come in the rearward of a conquer'd woe; br Give not a windy night a rainy morrow, br To linger out a purposed overthrow.
