Rh Love thee!—take it not amiss.

And, O! supreme would be my bliss

Then say, my fair, if thou agree

To make me happy, and to be

Believe me, that by day and night,

I’d feel ineffable delight

Then doubt me not, O do not fear,

For thou shall find me every year

Every day I think on thee,

Every night my love I see.

Thoughts and dreams so well agree,

I sure may say,

They’re indeed a happy sign,

That my love shall soon be mine,

And I shall be her Valentine,

AuspieionsAuspicious [sic] day!

Dear maid, allow a timid youth,

With trembling hand to pen.

And tell the secrets of his heart

On day of Valentine.

Long has he felt Love’s ardent flame,

And long the same conceal’d,

Trusting, by time and fortune’s aid,

The same would be reveal’d.

And, O how happy would he be,

If freed from every pain,

If for his heart you truly would

Return him yours again.

Hence, little Cupid, through the paths of air,

To her I love sincerely, hence, repair;
