But let him have it; let him go in peace,
And all inquiries of themselves will cease; 150
To touch him nearer, and to hold him fast,
Have a few tears in petto at the last—
But this with care! for ’tis a point of doubt,
If you should end with weeping or without.
’Tis true you much affect him by your pain,
But he may want to prove his power again;
And, then, it spoils the look, and hurts the eyes—
A girl is never handsome when she cries.
