Then reverting to private feelings : " Take care of my dear Lady Hamilton, Hardy: take care of poor Lady Hamilton. — Kiss me, Hardy,
Seite 384 - O'er emerald meadows of Kashmeer Invites the young pursuer near, And leads him on from flower to flower A weary chase and wasted hour, Then leaves him, as it soars on high, With panting heart and tearful eye: So beauty lures the full-grown child, With hue as bright, and wing as wild: A chase of idle hopes and fears, Begun in folly, closed in tears.
