her own
folly, and
laments
her want
of power
to recall
his lost
affection;
she knows
there is
no tie but
honour,
and that,
in a man
who has
been
guilty of
seduction,
is but
very
feeble: he
may leave
her in a
moment to
shame and
want; he
may marry
and
forsake
her for
ever; and
should he,
she has no
redress,
no
friendly,
soothing
companion
to pour
into her
wounded
mind the
balm of
consolation,
no
benevolent
hand to
lead her
back to
the path
