Pamela was too gentle to deceive Her roses. "Let the men stay where they are," She said, "and if Apollo's avatar Be one of them, I shall not have to grieve." And so she made all Tilbury Town believe She sighed a little more for the North Star Than over men, and only in so far As she was in a garden was like Eve. Her neighbors—doing all that neighbors can To make romance of reticence meanwhile— Seeing that she had never loved a man, Wished Pamela had a cat, or a small bird, And only would have wondered at her smile Could they have seen that she had overheard. Anonymous submission.
