A lass replied; “read this, and thou shalt know!”
“What, gone! - ‘Her friend insisted - forced to go:
Is vex’d, was teased, could not refuse her’ - No?
‘But you can follow.’ Yes! ‘The miles are few,
The way is pleasant; will you come? - Adieu!
Thy Laura!’ No! I feel I must resign
The pleasing hope; thou hadst been here, if mine.
A lady was it? - Was no brother there?
But why should I afflict me, if there were?
‘The way is pleasant.’ What to me the way?
