I have read the confession of a trusting soul, the effusions of an innocent love. I like your sincerity. It stirred feelings that have long been silent. But I don't want to praise you. I will repay with a confession equally without artifice. Accept this confession. I submit myself to your judgement. Had I wished to limit my life with a a family circle, had my lot been to become father or a husband, then, I guess, I would look no further, but take you as a bride. But I was not created for such bliss. It is alien to my soul. Your perfections are wasted on me, I am not worthy of them. Believe me, in all honesty, the married life would be a torture for you. No matter how much love I had for you, the moment it becomes a habit, I would love you no more. Then judge for yourself, what kind of roses would Hymen have in store for us, and that, perhaps, for many days. The dreams and years have fled away, and shall not return. I love you like a brother, yes a brother, or, perhaps, even more than a brother would, perhaps, perhaps even more than a brother would. Do listen to me and be not angry. Many times would a young maiden trade one passing dream for another. Learn to govern yourself. Not everyone, like I, will understand you. Inexperience leads to trouble.
