Farewell, false love, the oracle of lies, br A mortal foe and enemy to rest, br An envious boy, from whom all cares arise, br A bastard vile, a beast with rage possessed, br A way of error, a temple full of treason, br In all effects contrary unto reason. br br A poisoned serpent covered all with flowers, br Mother of sighs, and murderer of repose, br A sea of sorrows whence are drawn such showers br As moisture lend to every grief that grows; br A school of guile, a net of deep deceit, br A gilded hook that holds a poisoned bait. br br A fortress foiled, which reason did defend, br A siren song, a fever of the mind, br A maze wherein affection finds no end, br A raging cloud that runs before the wind, br A substance like the shadow of the sun, br A goal of grief for which the wisest run. br br A quenchless fire, a nurse of trembling fear, br A path that leads to peril and mishap, br A true retreat of sorrow and despair, br An idle boy that sleeps in pleasure's lap, br A deep mistrust of that which certain seems, br A hope of that which reason doubtful deems. br br Sith then thy trains my younger years betrayed, br And for my faith ingratitude I find; br And sith repentance hath my wrongs bewrayed, br Whose course was ever contrary to kind: br False love, desire, and beauty frail, adieu. br Dead is the root whence all these fancies grew.
