Epigram on a false mistress.

My heart still hovering round about you,

I thought I could not live WITHOUT you;

Now we have been two months asunder,

How I liv’d WITH you—is the wonder!

“Interesting History of the Baron de Lovzinski” ([pg. 98])

Original: The life and adventures of the chevalier de Faublas, 1787, by Jean-Baptiste Louvet de Couvray. The Lovzinski episode covers chapters VIII-XIV (to the end of the first volume in the 4-volume edition, or about 3/4 through the first in the 3-volume edition).

English translation: Exact source unknown. The serialized text is identical to the 1811 edition, except for the spelling of the name Pulaski—Pulauski in the book—and the “translator’s afterword” in the serial.
