CHAPTER XXII.

“GO BACK TO YOUR HAUGHTY BRIDE.”

“And will she love thee as well as I?

Will she do for thee what I have done?

See all the pomps of the world pass by,

And look only for thee—beloved one?

“Will she feel when another pronounces thy name

All the thrilling sensations that I have done?

Pride when they praise thee, regret when they blame,

And tenderness always—beloved one?
