And cast it from me!—but no—no, you 'll not

Repeat that?—will you, Mildred, repeat that?

Mil. Dear Henry!

Mer. I was scarce a boy—e'en now

What am I more? And you were infantine

When first I met you; why, your hair fell loose

On either side! My fool's-cheek reddens now

Only in the recalling how it burned

That morn to see the shape of many a dream

—You know we boys are prodigal of charms
