LOVE-LETTER to Katherine Belcher: "I have languished the whole tedious week in the competition of us lovers and yet, madame, you have not vouchsafed to express the least compassion for my sufferings, although you are the cruel object of them. Why should beauty effect arbitrary sway, or take delight in ruin of the most faithful adorer? Or why should such a passionate heart as mine is be rewarded only with scorn and contempt ? O! let me conjure you by those dear killing eyes that have robbed me of my repose, to let me know my crime, and wherein I have offended you, that the whole service of my life should atone for my transgressions; and yet, madame, if you mean to make me your victim, do but let me know it, and Idie with the eagerness and resignation of a martyr. For, alas! my despair has so effectually mortified me that, should you continue to be severe, death would be a welcome deliverer to the most unfortunate, Jabez Athearn."
