[The Works of Charles Lamb in Four Volumes, Volume 4 by Charles Lamb]@TWC D-Link bookThe Works of Charles Lamb in Four Volumes, Volume 4 PROLOGUE, SPOKEN BY MR 12/217
Suppose, I have sworn an oath, never, till the ceremony of our marriage is over, to disclose my true name. _Melesinda._ Oh! H, H, H.I cherish here a fire of restless curiosity which consumes me.
'Tis appetite, passion, call it whim, caprice, in me.
Suppose I have sworn, I must and will know it this very night. _Mr.H_.Ungenerous Melesinda! I implore you to give me this one proof of your confidence.
The holy vow once past, your H.shall not have a secret to withhold. _Melesinda_.
My H.has overcome: his Melesinda shall pine away and die, before she dare express a saucy inclination; but what shall I call you till we are married? _Mr.H_.Call me? call me anything, call me Love, Love! ay Love: Love will do very well. _Melesinda_.
