All your requirement—see and say my mind.

It may be that by sad apprenticeship

I have a keener sense: I 'll task the same.

Only indulge me,—here let sight and speech

Happen,—this Inn is neutral ground, you know!

I cannot visit the old house and home,

Encounter the old sociality

Abjured forever. Peril quite enough

In even this first—last, I pray it prove—

Renunciation of my solitude!
