CXXIII.
[You love me; but if I confess]
You love me; but if I confessThat I in turn love you no less,
I know that you will glance aside
With real or affected pride;
140
My bosom would alike be pain'd,
So that I will not tell you now
Whether I love; and as for vow . .
You may demand it ten times over,
And never win from wary lover.
Mind! if we men would be as blest
For ever as when first carest,
We must excite a little fear,
And sometimes almost domineer.
