can you please explain? (the stanza is below)?
She whom I worship night and day–she loathes my very sight
And on my neighbor dotes, who in another takes delight;
A third–she in my humble self nothing but good can see,
Now out upon the god of love, and him, and them, and me!

Well basically, the main guy in the poem (the speaker or narrator) loves a girl, but she hates him and loves the guy’s neighbour. But the neighbour loves somebody else. Then there’s another girl who loves the main guy. So the main guy is cursing the god of love for the annoying situation, as well as the other people and himself. It’s one of those love triangle situations.

Sounds like something from Cyrano de Bergerac where Cyrano is commenting about being the “go between” for Roxanne and the man she has fallen in love with when it is in reality Cyrano’s words she has fallen in love with and he is on the verge of a nervous breakdown, blaming God for his failure.
