    EPIGRAPH: A woman's frailty; where she once has lov'd, Strong is the passion; and however suppres'd, In smothering embers, still the flame bursts out, And strives to climb above our just resentment.

    EPIGRAPH: Day after day thy bloom Fades, and the tender lustre of thine eye Is dimm'd; thy form, amid creation, seems The only dropping thing. Thy look was soft, And yet most animated, and thy step Light as the foe's upon the mountains. Now, Thou sittest hopeless, pale beneath the tree That fann'd its joyless leaves above thy hand, Where love had deck'd the blooming bow'r, and strew'd The sweets of summer.

    EPIGRAPH: In peace, love tunes the shepherd's reed; In war, he mounts the warrior's steed; In halls, in gay attire is seen; In hamlets, dances on the green. Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above, For love is heav'n, and heav'n is love.

    EPIGRAPH: There be, perhaps, who barren hearts avow, Cold as the rocks on Torneo's hoary brow; There be, whose loveless wisdom never fail'd, In self-adoring pride securely mail'd; But triumph not, ye peace-enamour'd few; Fire, nature, genius, never dwelt with you! For you no fancy consecrates the scene, Where rapture utter'd vows, and wept between; 'Tis your's, unmov'd, to sever and to meet; No pledge is sacred, and no home is sweet.

    EPIGRAPH: I live in an inverted order; they who ought to have succeeded me, are gone before me. I am alone. I am stripped of all my honours; I am torn up by the roots, and lie prostrate on the earth.

    EPIGRAPH: What is life? oh, ask the sage, What is life from youth to age? Toiling up a painful steep, Gath'ring waters on a heap; Seeking hope's delusive ray, Seeking but to lose our way; Disappointment all below— This is life, the sages know.
