"A lady should not scorn

One soul that loves her, howe'er lowly it be."

Barry Cornwall.

"'Twere idle to remember now,

Had I the heart, my thwarted schemes.

I bear beneath this alter'd brow

The ashes of a thousand dreams—

Some wrought of wild Ambition's fingers,

Some colour'd of Love's pencil well—

Ambition has but foil'd my grasp,

And Love has perish'd in my clasp."

Melanie.
