HINC LACHRIMAE; OR THE AUTHOR TO AURORA: 12, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: When thou shalt be of all thy youth depriv'd
Last Line: Thou wilt repent thee that thou wast unkind.
Alternate Author Name(s): William Boxworth


When thou shalt be of all thy youth depriv'd,
And shalt with age's wrinkled rowes be clad;
When thou shalt sit and think how much I striv'd
Thy love to gain, and what reward I had;
When thy deceitful promises shall call
Thee to the bar, and there arraign thy thoughts;
When thou with heavy eyes shalt summon all
The harms which thy unkindness in me wrought;
When thou shalt hear of my distracted mind,
Thou wilt repent thee that thou wast unkind.
