No echo in a maiden's quiet soul,

But her pure bosom heaves, her eyes fill fast

With tears, her sweet lips tremble all the while!

Ha, ha!

Fest. It seems, then, you expect to reap

No unreal joy from this your present course,

But rather . . .

Par. Death! To die! I owe that much

To what, at least, I was. I should be sad

To live contented after such a fall,
