Many in aftertimes will say of you

Christina Rossetti

Vien dietro a me e lascia dir le genti. – Dante

Contando i casi della vita nostra. – Petrarca

Many in aftertimes will say of you

‘He loved her’ – while of me what will they say?

Not that I loved you more than just in play,

For fashion’s sake as idle women do.
