36. A Supplication
F
Of such a truth as I have meant;
My great travail so gladly spent,
Forget not yet!
The weary life ye know, since whan
The suit, the service none tell can;
Forget not yet!
The cruel wrong, the scornful ways,
The painful patience in delays,
Forget not yet!
How long ago hath been, and is
The mind that never meant amiss—
Forget not yet!
The which so long hath thee so loved,
Whose steadfast faith yet never moved—
Forget not this!
