Constancy Poem by Lord John Wilmot
Constancy
I cannot change, as others do,
Though you unjustly scorn;
Since that poor swain, that sighs for you
For you alone was born.
No, Phyllis, no, your heart to move
A surer way I'll try:
And to revenge my slighted love,
Will still love on, will still love on, and die.
When, kill'd with grief, Amyntas lies;
And you to mind shall call
The sighs that now unpitied rise;
The tears that vainly fall:
That welcome hour that ends this smart,
Will then begin your pain;
For such a faithful, tender heart
Can never break, can never break in vain.
Well expressed and so touching. ''For such a faithful, tender heart -Can never break, can never break in vain''.
What a beautiful poem with majestic flow and sweet rhyme. Liked it. Thanks for sharing.

For you alone was born! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
A powerful and touching poem on love. '' For such a faithful, tender heart Cn never break, can never break in vain.'' Wonderful lines from a beautifully written poem.
The opening statement of the poem is interesting and eye catching. The rest of the lines flow down so eloquently! 'Broken heart is always a popular theme' - Well said @Savita Tyagi, I agree with you fully.
strong, tender and brave heart none can break easily none can break in vain//// great thought
