LOV E'S FETTERS.
(JAPANESE.) s Thojigli secret love consumes my virgin heart, Not bold enough am I that love to tell; One word from thee,would -bid all shame depart, And in that heart make joy for ever dwell. First all in sport that passion did awake, And, wrought by courtesy, its fetters drew Around our'hearts, and, "now "too strong to break, -,.,,..,. • Unites in one fond wish two lovers true. Oh I blest the hour that brings me to thy sight, And sad the time that bids me say, Farewell ; Would that, to meet and part no more, we might' Together in eternal union dwell. , [The ■'. English version above, given was translated from the original by F. Takeya, Esq., a Japanese student, now in England.]
