‘O would my Love were safe in some far isle, And I were like some shadow passed away; Yea, though some other liegeful wife, the while, Partook his board at eve, his chase by day: For I am that doomed Babe of long ago; And I on those fair Three have brought this woe!
Who acts: Love, I, other liegeful wife, my, day · What happens: be, pass away, partake, doom, bring, love · To what, where: far isle, board, eve, I, shadow
