If a dark wretch e'er stray'd, <br />Worse than the first fell slayer, <br />'Tis he that wooes a maid, <br />To rifle and betray her! <br />For wealth may be retriev'd, <br />And friends long doom'd to sever, <br />But the fond heart deceiv'd, <br />Hath lost its peace for ever!<br /><br />Lady Caroline Lamb<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-a-dark-wretch-e-er-stray-d/
