P—— loved me, not as he lovd his Friends

by William Blake (1757–1827)


* * *

P——[4] loved me, not as he lovd his Friends
For he lovd them for gain to serve his Ends
He loved me and for no Gain at all[5]
But to rejoice & triumph in my fall
5 To forgive Enemies H . does pretend
Who never in his Life forgave a friend
