How quickly you withdraw !

Yes, I withdraw Without withdrawing ! Hurt I modesty ? If so - the kiss I asked - oh, grant it not.

Why?

Silence, Christian ! Hush !

What whisper you ?

I chid myself for my too bold advances ; Said, ' Silence, Christian ! '

Hark ! Wait a while,. . . Steps come !

Why, they play sad - then gay - then sad ! What ? Neither man nor woman ? - oh ! a monk !
