FALSE LOVE AND TRUE LOGIC.

THE DISCONSOLATE
My heart will break—I'm sure it will:
My lover, yes, my favourite—he
Who seemed my own through good and ill—
Has basely turned his back on me.

THE COMFORTER
Ah! silly sorrower, weep no more;
Your lover's turned his back we see,
But you had turned his head before
And now he's as he ought to be.

1836.
