But when she heard that he on foreign ground
Sought his lost peace, hers never more was found;
But still she felt a varying hope that love 310
Would all these slight impediments remove:—
“Has he no friend to tell him that our pride
Resents a moment and is satisfied?
Soon as the hasty sacrifice is made,
A look will soothe us, and a tear persuade;
Have I no friend to say ‘Return again,
Reveal your wishes, and relieve her pain?’”
