Strana 139 - But whate'er you are That in this desert inaccessible, Under the shade of melancholy boughs, Lose and neglect the creeping hours of time ; If ever you have look'd on better days, If ever been where bells have knoll'd to church.

That it should attract or inspire that fondness, that devotion of heart, which alone is love — which forms at once the pride of woman and the happiness of man — might as well be expected from the tricks of a monkey."
