  All we have built do we discern.

• Lady, for indeed
  I loved you and I deemed you beautiful,
  I cannot brook to see your beauty marred
  Through evil spite: and if ye love me not,
  I cannot bear to dream you so forsworn:
  I had liefer ye were worthy of my love,
  Than to be loved again of you - farewell;
  And though ye kill my hope, not yet my love,
  Vex not yourself: ye will not see me more.
