“Must ev'ry inclination smother.

“I can't believe your love is true;

“I'll never own you really kind

“Unless some certain means you find

“For us to meet without your mother.”

Kate answered: “Were it not too plain

“How warm my love, another strain

“I would employ. In converse vain

“Let us not waste our moments few;

“But think what it were best to do.”
