Page 72 - I adore thee, love thee, worship thee ! (Victoria looks haughty and displeased.) Ah ! pardon me, I know not what I say. Ah ! frown not thus ! I cannot see thee frown. I'll do whate'er thou wilt, I will be silent ; But O ! a reined tongue, and bursting heart, Are hard at once to bear ! will thou forgive me ? Viet.
Page 188 - The happy grateful spirit that improves, And brightens every gift by fortune given, That wander where it will with those it loves, Makes every place a home, and home a heaven.
