TO JULIA, IN CONSEQUENCE OF THE AUTHOR'S BREAKING HER FAN.
1793.
Too sure, thy fan, malignant fate
Impell'd me thus to break—
Ah Julia! I perceive, too late,
The fragments—what they speak!
Impell'd me thus to break—
Ah Julia! I perceive, too late,
The fragments—what they speak!
And canst thou, Julia, bid thy fan
The cruel doom impart?
Thy scorn, alas! do all I can,
Thy scorn will break my heart!
The cruel doom impart?
Thy scorn, alas! do all I can,
Thy scorn will break my heart!
