Andrew Macphail, comp. The Book of Sorrow. 1916.

From ‘Venus and Adonis’

William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

IF he be dead, O no! it cannot be,

Seeing his beauty, thou shouldst strike at it;

O yes! it may; thou hast no eyes to see,

But hatefully at random dost thou hit.

Thy mark is feeble age, but thy false dart

Mistakes that aim and cleaves an infant’s heart.
