I heed not every tale that triflers tell;—
Be you no trifler; dare not to believe
That I am one whom words and vows deceive:
You know your heart, your hazard you will learn,
And this your trial——instantly return.”—
“Unjust, injurious, jealous, cruel maid! }
Am I a slave, of haughty words afraid? }
Can she who thus commands expect to be obey’d? 480}
O! how unlike this dear assenting soul,
Whose heart a man might at his will control!”
