A ROMANCE

BY

JESSIE FOTHERGILL

Hope nothing, if I thus may speak
To thee, a woman, and thence weak.
Hope nothing, I repeat.

Farewell all wishes, all debate,

All prayer for this cause, or for that!
Weep, if that aid thee, but depend
Upon no help of outward friend;
Espouse thy doom at once, and cleave
To fortitude without reprieve.'

-WORDSWORTH

IN THREE VOLUMES
