False though She be




False though she be to me and love,
...I'll ne'er pursue revenge;
For still the charmer I approve,
...Though I deplore her change.
In hours of bliss we oft have met;
...They could not always last;
And though the present I regret,
...I'm grateful for the past.

William Congreve (1670-1729)
