THE EXCHANGE[391:1]
We pledged our hearts, my love and I,— I in my arms the maiden clasping; I could not guess the reason why, But, oh! I trembled like an aspen. Her father's love she bade me gain; 5 I went, but shook like any reed! I strove to act the man—in vain! We had exchanged our hearts indeed.
1804.
