Sentiment .... Stranger to Art. 
I ’m weary of your flattering words, 
And never wish to hear 
Again those silly compliments, 
You ’ve poured into my ear. 
I Ve often told you in plain terms, 
Love you, I never could ; 
If such a thing were possible, — 
I 'm sure I never would ! 
You look at me with much surprise, 
That I should thus dare speak, — 
You think I ought to bear with you, 
Like ancient Moses meek. 
Had you not loved yourself so much, 
And me a little more, 
You might have won my heart perhaps, 
A long, long time before.
