Suppose this love that I suppose quito filled me with alarm, Suppose It burnod through years in fiery fashion; Suppose words can't express Its might suppose some subtle charm Drew from your heart a twin to its own passion; I don't suppose you could supposo your dignity would yield To mako confession to a bashful stupid; Suppose that we suppose the lips of your heart wore unsealed Would they bespeak tho presence of Rogue Cupid?
