:45:03

if I perceive the love come from her.
:45:07

than give any sign of affection.
:45:13
I did never think to marry.
:45:18

and can put them to mending.
:45:23

:45:52
...because I have railed
so long against marriage.

:46:04
Shall these quips and sentences
and paper bullets of the brain...
:46:09
...awe a man from the career of his humor?
