Crosspiece, Fraught Duchess


I was born in 1770

When I was 2 years old I knew my ABC

At the age of I would daresay 4 I discovered that music moved my soul

An excessive life of letters was my world around when I was 7

At 10, without a doubt in my mind, I began to travel around

I replaced my sire when I turned 13

I was 17 when my best friend died

A world of honourable admirers became my paint of life when I was 18

At 21 I am disgusted at the best loving dance

but still

I want to throw myself to the greatest love of all


and I behold the thought and feeling:

Should I all its domains explore???
