Shaken in a real sense by L.E.L. ie Letitia Elizabeth Landon/Mrs. Mclean's fate: immensely popular
(sonnet #MMMMMMMDCCLXIV)
I'd boyfriends, even kissed until that sense
Of ecstasy was buried sans avail
With gradeschool's innocence, but never'd scale
The actual height of love 'til Nigel thence
Took me in hand to teach my soul from whence
It sprung, though all in vain; where TyKlee'd hail
Me at my mother's tomb to steal in frail
Excuse my shattered heart betrayed fr'intents.
And now that Les taught me French kissing fer
Sheer moments of keen passion, none yet "knew"
Lo, me: I'm still a ******. Thieves in tour
Stole off, what? bits and pieces. Naught e'er woo
But they are false, yea, scoundrels. Love is poor.
I, as a violet, fade with silver dew.
