Love In Excess Flashcards
His unequalled charm made him
The admiration of both sexes
Her pride, and the good opinion she had of
Herself made her unable to support her passion
Cursing her own
Want of power
A thousand chimeras
Came into her head
You conquer without
Making an attack
He didn’t believe it was possible for a lady
To distinguish him from other men
Disdain, despair and jealousy at
Once crowded into her heart
Tempest of
Mind
To offer love and poor full sue
For pity! Tis insupportable!
Even the vilest of my
Sex would blush at this
My furious desires may be
The destruction of my peace
He knew how to lay the blame
On the violence of passion
I shall take care to prove myself a person
Not disinterested in the honour of my family
Your lordship is too
Generous to be refused
They were too irresistible
To be long withstood
She fell into all the raptures
That successful malice could inspire
Do you delight in beholding
The ruins you have made me?
Amen a shall be yours, if love, wit and
Opportunity have power to make her so
The undoer of
My quiet
I would rather suffer my life
Than my virtue to become its prey
Honour is to receive you: religion, reason
Modesty and obedience forbid the rest
D’elmont knew the power he had over her too
Well to be much discouraged at what he read
Desirous I should witness the
Favours they bestow on him
I became so devoted to my passion,
That I had no leisure for my other sentiments
Nor did she, even in public, affect any reservedness
More than the decencies of her sex required
I was a little worthless fellow who had
Nothing but my sword to depend on
I should be able to retain from her
Everything an honourable passion could require
She had loved the charming count with a kind of
Madness since the first moment she beheld him
