The Poetical Works of Thomas Chatterton | ||
CXXVI.
Ber.Celmond, speak what thou mean'st, or else my thought
Perchance may rob thy honesty so fair.
Cel.
Then hear, and know, hereto I have you brought,
My long-hid love unto you to make clear.
Ber.
Oh heaven and earth! what is it I do hear?
Am I betrayed? where is my Ælla, say?
Cel.
Oh do not now to Ælla such love bear,
But some bestow on Celmond's head.
Ber.
Away!
I will begone, and grope my passage out,
Albeit adder's stings my legs do twine about.
