UNREQUITED LOVE
If enemies you have who wish you ill,
Who hate you and insult you all the time,
Remember that to wish for them the fate
That they proposed for you won`t do a thing.
Death is sometime a goodly medicine,
It offers strong relief for a great woe.
But love, instead, is an infernal pain
That closes every door before a man.
For this, the worst curse, the most powerful,
Is to feel love and have your love refused,
Thrown to the side, not valued anything.
Sad is the lover who is not esteemed.
There is no greater pain, no harsher woe,
Than to love one who does not care for you.
