Am I not blest? And if I love too wildly,

Who would not love thee like Pauline?

Mel.

Oh, false one!

It is the prince thou lovest, not the man;

If in the stead of luxury, pomp, and power,

I had painted poverty, and toil, and care,

Thou hadst found no honey on my tongue; Pauline,

That is not love.

Pauline.
