Barberry.

Ill Temper.

That frown but ill becomes thy face;
That pout hath spoilt thy lips' sweet grace;
Those peevish tones disturb the ear
Accustomed thy soft notes to hear.
Have I offended? Gently chide,
And I thine anger will abide;
Will kneel repentant at thy feet,
Until my pardon is complete.
Say dost thou not this mood regret?
Thou dost! Forgive, then, and forget.
