If thou canst, be happy still!

Another reply was published entitled—
Lady Byron’s Response to “Fare Thee Well.”
“What reader of Pope’s celebrated Eloise ever thought that poem really the work of its heroine? or who for a moment will conceive the following to be the production of Lady Byron’s pen?”
And fare Thee well, too—if, for ever—
How dread the thought!—still fare thee well!
Yet think not time or space can sever
The heart that wont on thine to dwell!
