PRESENTATION OUTLINE
WHEN MY LOVE SWEARS THAT SHE IS MADE OF TRUTH
I DO BELIEVE HER THOUGH I KNOW SHE LIES
THAT SHE MIGHT THINK ME SOME UNTUTORED YOUTH
UNLEARNED IN THE WORLD'S FALSE SUBTLETIES
THUS VAINLY THINKING THAT SHE THINKS ME YOUNG
ALTHOUGH SHE KNOWS MY DAYS ARE PAST THE BEST

SIMPLY I CREDIT HER FALSE SPEAKING TOUNGE
ON BOTH SIDES THUS IS SIMPLE TRUTH SUPPRESSED
BUT WHEREFORE SAY SHE IS UNJUST?
AND WHEREFORE SAY NOT I THAT I AM OLD?
O LOVE'S BEST HABIT IS IN SEEMING TRUST
AND AGE IN LOVE, LOVES NOT TO HAVE YEARS TOLD
THEREFORE I LIE WITH HER AND SHE WITH ME
AND IN OUR FAULTS BY LIES WE FLATTERED BE
