Gave me a perfumed, amber-tinted note,

For Countess Lara, which, with some adieus,

Craved her remembrance morning, noon, and night;

Her prayers while gone, her smiles when he returned;

Then told his sudden fortune with the cards,

And bade her keep the jewels. That is all.

Lara.

All? Is that all? 'T has only cracked my heart!

A heart, I know, of little, little worth—

An ill-cut ruby, scarred and scratched before,
