For me from day % day sof
And let me whisper still alone,
Tom, If YOU love ne, say so.
How of when / was sick or sad
With some remembered folly,
The sight Of YOU has made me glad
And then most melancholy.
Al why will thoughts Of one so good
Upon my spirits prey so?
By you il should be understood
Tom, you love me, say 50.
Whato'er OF ours you chance 10 seek,
Almost before you breathe t.

And all my soul goes with a.
Why thank me, then, with voice so low
And ALTERING, turn away so!
When next you come, before you 60,
