SCENE XIII.
Gunilda.
I chuse, repent, refuse, and chuse agen:This Pulse beats Love, the next a cold Disdain.I contradict, before I fully speak;And e're half bent, my Resolutions break.Each fair Design I ruine in the bud:Then, onely what I had condemn'd, think good.
descriptionPage 27
No sooner in my Breast a Thought can rise,But others spring and catch it as it flies.So hot my Head, what-ever enters thereBut whizzes, and straight vanishes to Air.If ought more tough to an Opinion grows,Away that Bubble the first Whisper blows.My Soul is perfect Discord; Chance, not Skill,My Choice, and but the Shadow of a Will.Dreams are more real: to that Point I sail;But veer again with the next breathing Gale,Whilst a new Calenture my Sense do's mock:For every Course I steer presents a Rock.
