this poem of reporach. the poet is addressing someone who has committed a mean act, and then repented: but the repentance was not enouph to compensate for the meanness, and so he continuce to not feel betrayed, and to tell his friend that he seems less attractive than he was. thus much is clear, but, as far as the facts go, not much more Who is the frind and what has he done? Narrative always arouses curiosity, and the shadow of narrative that lies behind this poem can easily make us curious, but the poem does not answer these question perhaps it was intended for readers who already knew the facts.
