First lines
I've read your letter o'er and o'er again, Happy to find you faithful do remain, Besides forgiveness; though too much I fear, I long have made you victim to despair.
You say two years with fervency I strove To keep affection, constancy, and love; But soon as crosses came upon my mind, Was careless of you, and appear'd unkind.
