						Lettered upon my breast
 
						Of tender words, too dear 
						I never can confessed 
						To you, my tormentor, are they addressed 
						And sealed with waxing tears 
						In heart's quill I find coalesce; 
						From your neglect, my prayers! 
						As these epistles writ in passion's rite 
						Fall mute upon thine ears 
						My lips succumb; lone recite: 
						I shan't love thee next year! 
						In time these tiny missives of heart; 
						Will blot with beating fade 
						Being left unread; in part 
						That I had not your aid
