THE HERo1NE or EIIcrloN:

My bitter destiny compels
To wed man do not iove,
Than fall In love with some one elsel
Yet me how would you recognize,
q. hero. II you met me now!
What scorn would tighten from your eyes
And corrugate your manly brow!
The modern hero have found,
Upon the whole. do not like.
He's either stupid or unsound.
And II were not worse I'd strike.
-
But am worse. l never guessed
How bad could BE- TIL I tried
Compelled too often to arrest
My headlong course by suicide.
And though l cease from guilt and slang
A fresh reprieve l fain would beg;
For other authors seem - hang
Theories on me like peg.
A. gsa-
or happiness and love 10 find:
Again would be gay and fair. -,
Loyal, and chivalrous. and kind!
All, do not bid me rant and rave;
All, do not bid me preach and bore.
Give me back my Hero, true and brave,
Whom shall love forevermore!
