Penance in a Black Pit

Witness dear readers the tears I shed, How miserable and distressed I remain. Witness wise doctors my wounded heart And my stunned, gloomy and insane mind. Witness dear saints how I relinquished my faith To worship a pagan love that cruelly cheats me. Witness heaven how he is dear to me And my lusty wanton desire grieves me. Witnesss the wrongs inflicted upon me How into slavery Love has trapped me And a wretched penance in a black pit I live in the dim hole since I found it.
