«Isabella, or the Pot of Basil, 1818.» Vassal of love - Lorenzo Young, Beautiful, ingenuous Isabel! Perhaps Mademoiselle, that under the roof of one Love their hearts not captured; Perhaps Mademoiselle, so a meal a day Their views are not met now and then; To make them middle of the night in silence Each other not dreamed in a dream.
