Ease me Of my wild unrest;
Which Of all your snitors, new,
Tell me, do you love the best,

Some are handsome men. see:
Some have talent; others skill"
Straight she looked and smiled on me.

Tam the one--so it appears,
Can it be she chooses me,
Leaving in despair the rest?

Which, of all that seek your hand,
Do you only, truly love?"
All was silent; you'd have heard
A pin if it had CHANGED to fall,
Said she, in my waiting ear,
.sOh, you fat-I love en- all !"
