XLIV + 

Triumphs⁠—their own or those of friends⁠— + 

Hopes, frolics, dreams and sentiment + 

Their harmless conversation blends + 

With scandal’s trivial ornament. + 

Then to reward such confidence + 

Her amorous experience + 

With mute appeal to ask they seem⁠— + 

But Tania just as in a dream + 

Without participation hears, + 

Their voices nought to her impart + 

And the lone secret of her heart, + 

Her sacred hoard of joy and tears, + 

She buries deep within her breast + 

Nor aught confides unto the rest. + 
