“Ideas and time ne’er backward move; + 

My soul I cannot renovate⁠— + 

I love you with a brother’s love, + 

Perchance one more affectionate. + 

Listen to me without disdain. + 

A maid hath oft, may yet again + 

Replace the visions fancy drew; + 

Thus trees in spring their leaves renew + 

As in their turn the seasons roll. + 

’Tis evidently Heaven’s will + 

You fall in love again. But still⁠— + 

Learn to possess more self-control. + 

Not all will like myself proceed⁠— + 

And thoughtlessness to woe might lead.” + 
