310 We met in secret — doubly sweet, Some say, they find it so to meet ; T know not that — I would have given My life but to have called her mine In the full view of Earth and Heaven ; For I did oft and long repine That we could only meet by stealth. VIII " For lovers there are many eyes, And such there were on us ; the Devil On such occasions should be civil — 320 MAZEPPA e^ The Devil ! — I 'm loth to do him wrong, It might be some untoward saint, Who would not be at rest too long, But to his ...pious bile gave vent — But one fair night, some lurking spies Surprised and seized us both. The Count was something more than wroth — I was unarmed ; but if in steel. All cap-a-pie from head to heel, What 'gainst their numbers could I do? 330 'Twas near his castle, far away From city or from succour near. And almost on the break of day ; I did not think to see another. My moments seemed reduced to few; And with one prayer to Mary Mother, And, it may be, a saint or two. As I resigned me to my fate, They led me to the castle gate : Theresa's doom I never knew, 340 Our lot was henceforth separate.
