HIS SUBMISSION.
You will betray me—Oh, deny it not! What right have I, alas, to say:you nay? I, traitor to' ten loves, what shall I say To plead with you that I be not forgot? My love has* not been squandered jot by jot '. - , In little loves that perish with tlie day. My treason has been ever to the sway Of queens —my faith has known no petty blot. You will betray me as I have betrayed And I shall kiss the hand that does me wrong, •■ '■ And oh, not pardon—l need pardon more, But m proud torment, dumb and uriafraid, Burn m my hell nor cease the bitter song .? ' . Your beauty triumphs m for evermore. —Richard Hovey,in Putnam's Magazine.
