At least I’ll fail for game worth failing for!
As yet I’ve breathed no word—were I unseen
I could take heart of grace and tell my love!
Flor. (laughing). What would you say?
Mous.Ay, ay, you laugh at me;
But I’ve a wily tongue, and I can woo
Like an Adonis—when I’m in the dark!
A blind girl loved me once—a fair young girl
With gentle face and gentle heart—but blind!
Flor. I’ll swear she was!
