I will give up my heart in return for his vow;
I must have all or none,
Must be wooed to be won—
And now I’ll advise you, if you will allow.
You at once must restrain all expression of feeling,
Not only of words, but of glances and sighs,
Lest by some odd mischance the strange secret revealing,
Your friendship should prove to be—“love in disguise!”
Remember, take care,
I bid you beware,
