Poor girl ! — she bore it better than her mother.
LXXIII.
There is a kiss of passion that would drain More of the soul than in mere lips can live, When lovers yearn for love, like babes that strain The mother's breast for more than it can save ; Which kiss, not lightly to be kissed again, Soon lapsed into the kiss contemplative — The kiss of peace ; and then Laurella's tongue Warbled new music from her heart that sum ig- LXXIV.
' Tonino mio ! you love me then — can pardon My nasty cross-grained... ways ? O if you knew How I have feared to love you — set a guard on My thoughts, to vex you ! Yes, my love, 'tis true- 54 Latirella.
I feared to love you always — strove to harden My heart against you — you, you, only you ! Ah that poor heart, you tugged it every way — You don't know how I hated you to-day !
LXXV.
' But now, O now, I'll be so different !
How could I bear to pass you, when we met, Without one look ? And so you really meant To run away, and thought I could forget Your words of love ?
