Remember Thee! Remember Thee!
Remember thee! remember thee! Till Lethe quench life’s burning stream Remorse and shame shall cling to thee, And haunt thee like a feverish dream! Remember thee! Aye, doubt it not. Thy husband too shall think of thee: By neither shalt thou be forgot, Thou false to him, thou fiend to me!

Remember Thee! Remember Thee! - fact Summary
About Augusta Byron
A brief, bitter address that promises perpetual remembrance and condemnation of a woman’s betrayal. The speaker invokes Lethe and haunting remorse to insist she will never be forgotten by him or her husband, calling her ‘‘false’’ and a ‘‘fiend.’’ The poem registers personal anger and lasting moral judgment rather than reconciliation.
