He had then eyes and sense only for his young wife.

Ah, and she was beautiful and lovely as one of the Graces.

But I, am not I also beautiful?
and have not the noblest cavaliers paid me homage, and sighed for me in unavailing love?
How comes it, then, that where I would please, there I am always overlooked?
How comes it, that the only two men, for whose notice I ever cared, have never shown any preference for me?
I felt that I loved Henry Howard, but this love was a sin, for the Earl of Surrey was married.

I therefore tore my heart from him by violence, and gave it to God, because the only man whom I could love did not return my affection.

But even God and devotion are not able to entirely fill a woman's heart.
