hough human, thou didst not deceive me,Though woman, thou didst not forsake,Though loved, thou forborest to grieve me,Though slandered, thou never couldst shake;[u][79]Though trusted, thou didst not disclaim me,Though parted, it was not to fly,Though watchful, 'twas not to defame me,Nor, mute, that the world might belie.[v]
