I ever sigh’d for, by I knew not then

How just alienation, drove me down

To that accursèd thing?

Just. My Cipriano!

Dost thou remember, in the lighter hour—

Then when my heart, although you saw it not,

All the while yearn’d to thee across the gulf

That yet it dared not pass—my telling thee

Should ever make us one? Behold! and now
