English term or phrase: On which lost the more by our love.
Your eyes on me were as eyes that rove
Over tedious riddles solved years ago;
And some words played between us to and fro—
On which lost the more by our love.

راجع به کدام یک از ما به خاطر عشقمان بیشتر باخت
Explanation:
As I read the poem, this line is about a conversation (words played between us to and fro) and the conversation was about "which one of us lost more because we were in love". That is, their love is over and each person is saying "I lost more than you did".
