knowing not how I may offend, in broaching these unpolished lines to you.
It is with marked trepidation that I ascend, as if on broken wing, across a chasm of despair wondering if I might find you there.
I ache to think I stunned a part of your so precious heart but if fate must brace me with a test whereupon I must offend, I pray the Lord to release upon me His fust wrath for to endure a breath, outside your grace, I dare say, I could not last.
