XXVII + 

A coquette loves by calculation, + 

Tattiana’s love was quite sincere, + 

A love which knew no limitation, + 

Even as the love of children dear. + 

She did not think “procrastination + 

Enhances love in estimation + 

And thus secures the prey we seek. + 

His vanity first let us pique + 

With hope and then perplexity, + 

Excruciate the heart and late + 

With jealous fire resuscitate, + 

Lest jaded with satiety, + 

The artful prisoner should seek + 

Incessantly his chains to break.” + 
