Where he expects faithfulness, he is met instead by ill fortune. This lyric does not name love or a lady expressly as the speaker’s pursuit. H8 marks stanzas in several ways in this poem: by using a capital letter at the start of each first line, by writing the first line of each stanza slightly to the left of the following lines, and by adding a space between each stanza.
