Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch

Here you will find the Poem An Oath of poet Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch

An Oath

A month ago Lysander pray'd 
To Jove, to Cupid, and to Venus, 
That he might die if he betray'd 
A single vow that pass'd between us.
Ah, careless gods, to hear so ill 
And cheat a maid on you relying! 
For false Lysander's thriving still, 
And 'tis Corinna lies a-dying.
