CRAZY JANE.

Stay, fair Maid!—On every featureWhy are marks of dread imprest?Can a wretched helpless creatureRaise such terrors in your breast?Do my frantic looks alarm you?Trust me, Sweet, your fears are vain:Not for kingdoms would I harm you;Shun not then poor Crazy Jane!
Dost thou weep to see my anguish?Mark me, and escape my woe!When Men flatter, sigh, and languish,Think them false;—I found them so!For I loved.......Oh! so sincerelyNone will ever love again!Yet the Man I prized most dearly,Broke the heart of Crazy Jane.
