“But your own feelings. Even should all the rest

Be hidden by the rolling waves, which hide

Already many a once love-beaten breast

Deep in the caverns of the deadly tide⁠—

You love this boyish, new, Seraglio guest,

And if this violent remedy be tried⁠—

Excuse my freedom, when I here assure you,

That killing him is not the way to cure you.”
