How do I loathe thee!  Let me count the ways.
I hate you to the depths of damnation,
The misery that is my final song,
A melody once-honeyed, by Hope forsaken.
I dread your calling, the accusing drone
And belligerent world that heralds my doom.
My soul's hate! shell of careless Joy my tomb
To which I run, no more caring what from.
'Twas once tenderness, now love mistempered
Sweet words now poisoned barbs, bred of a love
That in its haste all desire did remove,
Partners once trine with bitterness inured.
The fears I've known now married in the rage
That beseems fair Cupid's moribund dirge.
