STIRLING, WILLIAM ALEXANDER, Earl of: Oft have I heard, which now I must deny - ZaunköniG - 07.01.2011
STIRLING, WILLIAM ALEXANDER, Earl of
1567 - 1640 Schottland / Canada
Oft have I heard, which now I must deny,
That nought can last if that it be extreame;
Times dayly change, and we likewise in them,
Things out of sight do straight forgotten die:
There is nothing more vehement then love,
And yet I burne, and burne still with one flame.
Times oft have chang'd, yet I remaine the same,
Nought from my mind her image can remove;
The greatnesse of my love aspires to ruth,
Time vowes to crowne my constaincie in th'end,
And absence doth my fancies but extend;
Thus I perceive the poet spake the truth,
That who to see strange countries were inclin'd,
Might change the aire, but never change the mind.
