"Intreat me not to leave thee,
or to return from following
after thee: for wither thou goest,
i will go; and where thou lodgest,
i will lodge: thy people shall be
my people, and thy God my God.

Where thou diest, will i die,
and there will i be buried:
the Lord do so to me, and more
also, if ought but death part thee
       and me."
Ruth 1:16-17 (KJV)

Lips invariable like weather,
turning aside as an unfaithful arrow
aimed at a panther,
killed instead a roe.

Vows unfulfilled, promises unkept:
seeing a snorter quit; lept
away like a thief.

Ha, gay words laden with grief!

Love inconstant ends in sorrow,
making the heart bent like a bow.
