 88 When thou shalt be disposed to set me light  Commentary  
 89 Say that thou didst forsake me for some fault  Commentary  
 90 Then hate me when thou wilt, if ever, now  Commentary  
 91 Some glory in their birth, some in their skill   Commentary  
 92 But do thy worst to steal thyself away   Commentary  
 93  So shall I live, supposing thou art true   Commentary  
 94  They that have power to hurt, and will do none   Commentary    
 95 How sweet and lovely dost thou make the shame   Commentary
