Before thee all unveil’d—depart!

Few pangs ’twill cost thee now to fly

From one so stain’d, so lost as I;

Yet peace to thine untainted breast,

E’en though it hate me!—be thou blest!

Farewell! thou shalt not linger here—

E’en now th’ avenger may be near:

Where’er I turn, the foe, the snare,

The dagger, may be ambush’d there;

One hour—and haply all is o’er,
