Adam Lindsay Gordon (Адам Линдсей Гордон)
To a Proud Beauty
"A Valentine" Though I have loved you well, I ween, And you, too, fancied me, Your heart hath too divided been A constant heart to be. And like the gay and youthful knight, Who loved and rode away, Your fleeting fancy takes a flight With every fleeting day. So let it be as you propose, Tho' hard the struggle be; 'Tis fitter far—that goodness knows!— Since we cannot agree. Let's quarrel once for all, my sweet, Forget the past—and then I'll kiss each pretty girl I meet, While you'll flirt with the men.
