Can doleful notes?
J. Danyel
Can doleful notes, to measured accents set,
Express unmeasured griefs which Time forget?
No, let chromatic tunes, harsh without ground,
Be sullen music for a tuneless heart.
Chromatic tunes most like my passions sound,
As if combined to bear their falling part.
Uncertain certain turns, of thoughts forecast,
Bring back the same, then die, and dying, last.
