Innocent creature! you do not know the power of love.

I rejoice that you have always thought it impossible--think so still--it will save you from--all I must endure.

Think of me but as your cousin, your friend--give your heart to some happier man.

As your friend, your true friend, I conjure you, give your heart to some more fortunate man.

Marry, if you can feel love--marry, and be happy.
