Quote #4
Long, long shall I rue thee,
Too deeply to tell. (23-24)
Yeah, he says he'll "rue" her really deeply, but that's only because he's loved her so deeply. Right? Right? You can't feel this sad unless you're really, really in love, or obsessed. That's what we think, at least.
Quote #5
In secret we met— (25)
Okay there was definitely something inappropriate about this love affair. Seriously, who meets in secret except people who aren't supposed to be meeting? It sounds like this love affair crossed some serious lines.
Quote #6
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive. (26-28)
Here it sounds like we have an instance of the old "I love you more than you love me" thing. The speaker implies that he still loves the woman, but apparently her "heart" (the seat of emotions like love) has forgotten all about him. Sheesh—forget her then.
