L.Nay; I trust you well.

F. Then waste no more the precious moments, Laura,

To question the great blessing we enjoy.

Our hours will all be as this hour to-night;

Either to step with in eternity

Towards our perfection with unwavering will,

Or with a questioning purpose let it slide,

And leave us far behind. A man’s desires

Are his companions and by them he is known;

But he himself is what he grows to be
