O, if you only knew how much I feel!
But is the quantity all that will serve
To recommend me? Am I such a heel
That I cannot pretend to well deserve
The love that I would beg from you until
The volume of my love has been explained?
Can I imagine that love ever will
Be truly worth it if it has been gained
By mere excess of exhibition? No.
I do not wish to think so. Rather I
Desire to explain because I know
The greatness of my feeling may imply
The quality as well as quantity
Of what I feel: and that's as it should be.
