O, once I lov&;d a bonnie lass,
Aye, and I love her still;
And whilst that virtue warms my breast
I&;ll love my handsome Nell.</p>
<p>As bonnie lasses I hae seen,
And mony full as braw,
But for a modest gracefu&; mien
The like I never saw.</p>
<p>A bonnie lass, I will confess,
Is pleasant to the ee,
But without some letter qualities
She&;s no a lass for me.</p>
<p>But Nellie&;s looks are blithe and sweet,
And what is best of a&;
Her reputation is complete,
And fair without a flaw.</p>
<p>Whilst my prior gift was such a bold flirtation, I now would like to gift you with a token of admiration that does not stray to more questionable thoughts as it had before. Of course, this gift would have to be gold, for nothing of lesser grade is suitable for such a precious woman as yourself.</p>
<p>You may be wondering still just what my true identity is - for now, that shall, as it has for some time now, remain a mystery.</p>
<p>Sincerely Yours,
~D*</p>
