La plainte d'une amante by William Shakespeare
"La plainte d'une amante" by William Shakespeare is a narrative poem published in 1609 as an appendix to his Sonnets. The poem follows a young woman weeping by a river, tearing up letters and discarding tokens of love. When an old man approaches and asks about her sorrow, she recounts the story of a seductive lover who charmed and abandoned her. Written in rhyme royal stanzas, the poem explores themes of seduction
and betrayal, yet concludes with a striking admission about the enduring power of deceptive charm. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
