Good night, good rest. Ah, neither be my share:
She bade good night that kept my rest away;
And daff’d me to a cabin hang’d with care,
To descant on the doubts of my decay.
‘Farewell,’ quoth she, ‘and come again tomorrow:
Fare well I could not, for I supp’d with sorrow.
Yet at my parting sweetly did she smile,
In scorn or friendship, nill I construe whether:
‘T may be, she joy’d to jest at my exile,
‘T may be, again to make me wander thither:
‘Wander,’ a word for shadows like myself,
As take the pain, but cannot pluck the pelf.
