iOh! mas de una vez habia amado Chill
de Harold, 9 sonado que amaba, puesto que
ell extasis amoroso no pasa de ser un sue
no; pero ahora SUI capriohoso corazon es
taba como insensible, poruue no habia be-
bido aun en- la frente del olvido; y desde
POGO antes tenia para 81 que el don mas
grato del amor consiste en- sus alas. Por
muy bello, j6ven y dulce que parezca,
siempre en- el colmo de sus inefables rego-
cijos hay un dejo amargo que infciona
su manantial y esparce SUI veneno sobre
las flores. -
