Yes, my beloved Sidney! I shall once more rejoin thee, and share thy fate--perhaps effect thy rescue.

I urge my weary way;
At every whispering breeze I start,
All terror and dismay.
Still Hope, with magic mirror tries
My sinking heart to cheer,
And points where smiling prospects rise
Of many a circling year.

Reflects the burning noon,
Or when the chilling damps of night
Arise and dim the moon.

Still as a mouse. I only wish the first interview was over. I feel as much ashamed of first meeting Wilhelmina's eye, as a thief when obliged to appear before the person whom he has defrauded.

Tedious are hours to those who live in doubt.
O that my father were return'd once more! [end page 29]
Or could I learn good tidings.--Dreadful suspense!
The mind that labours for a cure works ill
By feeding its own grief; wasting away
Like boiling waters in an useless struggle.
Had but my wishes wings, fleet should they fly
And leave the winds behind! look for good news,
And bring it back with thought's best speed. I'm sick
Of hope, that promises and lingers on
Disease, but brings no cure. Give me a song,
Perhaps it may a while divert my care.
