Fooled me to a false security. That night

I wrote my passion; and by such presumption

Offended. My after patience met with scorn,

My importunity anger. I then desisted,

Trying if by absence I could work my cure.

Twelve months of trial bring me here to-day

With no hope left but this; that living near her

Her daily and familiar sight may blunt

My strained ideal passion; or if this

Quench not my fancy, it may serve to feed it
