An Oath

Author: Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch [More Titles by Quiller-Couch]

(From 'Troy Town'.)

A month ago Lysander pray'd
To Jove, to Cupid, and to Venus,
That he might die if he betray'd
A single vow that pass'd between us.

Ah, careless gods, to hear so ill
And cheat a maid on you relying!
For false Lysander's thriving still,
And 'tis Corinna lies a-dying.

[The end]
Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch's poem: Oath
