Quote #7

In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive (26-28)

The speaker seems more upset that the woman has totally forgotten about him—her spirit is misleading her. It's not that he doesn't have her. It's that she has another man. Hmm, so he's sad about a few things.

Quote #8

How should I greet thee?—
With silence and tears (31-32)

The speaker's sadness seems eternal. If he and his friend meet again, there won't be any rejoicing or "OMG it's so good to see you!" Their reunion will be like their parting: silent, tearful, and sad. Well, that's depressing. Sheesh.
