First lines
On Receipt of a Letter, dated Sept. 26, 1806.
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.
I knew my home was neat, serene, and nice; But, ah! that home I lost, allured by vice. Soon as you fled, a different scene in view, Gone all attention soon as I lost you.
