A Tale of Mona: And other poems. By Louisa Stuart Costello

“Then not a moment of delay,
“We must this instant haste away,
“For ever quit this hostile place,
“Or this must be our last embrace.
“That start explains my hopes were vain,
“Your falsehood is, alas! too plain;
“For now the trial is in view,
“You shrink from all your vows—adieu!”
