Adventures of an Aide-de-Camp, Volume I by Archaeologist James Grant - HTML preview

Claud. I look'd upon her with a soldier's eye,

That liked, but had a rougher task in hand

Than to drive liking to the name of love:

But now I am returned, and that war thoughts

Have left their places vacant; in their rooms

Come thronging soft and delicate desires,

All prompting me how fair young Hero is,

Saying how I liked her ere I went to war.
