False Love And True Logic

By Samuel Laman Blanchard

THE DISCONSOLATE My heart will break, I'm sure it will: My lover, yes, my favorite, he Who seemed my own through good and ill, Has basely turned his back on me. THE COMFORTER Ah! silly sorrower, weep no more; Your lover's turned his back, we see; But you had turned his head before, And now he's as he ought to be.
