Theresa, who rejoiced to see ht talk of you: I need

not say how erly

I listened to her upon her favourite subject You will guess the motive

that first induced me to make myself known to Theresa: it was, indeed,

no other than that of gaining adardens,

which my Emily had so lately inhabited: here, then, I wander, and e under every shade: but chiefly I love to sit beneath the

spreading branches of your favourite plane, where once, Eether; where I first ventured to tell you, that I loved O Emily!

the remembrance of those moments overcomes me--I sit lost in reverie--I

endeavour to see you dih my tears, in all the heaven of

peace and innocence, such as you then appeared to ain the

accents of that voice, which then thrilled my heart with tenderness and

hope I lean on the wall of the terrace, where we together watched the

rapid current of the Garonne belohile I described the wild scenery

about its source, but thought only of you O Emily! are these moments

passed for ever--will they never more return?'
