And I'm not going to be in love with anybody for years and years. I'm fancy-free, and I mean to stay so. So don't try to tease me, for you won't get any fun out of it." "That's so; you're too straightforward to be teased successfully. Patty, you've been a real lesson to me this summer. I've learned a lot from you.
"Uns al-Wujud, dost deem me fancy-free, * When pine and longing slay and quicken me? I have known love and yearning from the years * Since mother-milk I drank, nor e'er was free. Long struggled I with Love, till learnt his might; * Ask thou of him, he'll tell with willing gree. Love-sick and pining drank I passion-cup, * And well-nigh perished in mine agony.
