Ah heavens! how many letters did I write her, and how many dainty modest replies did I receive! how many ditties and love-songs did I compose in which my heart declared and made known its feelings, described its ardent longings, revelled in its recollections and dallied with its desires!
¡Ay cielos, y cuántos billetes le escribí! ¡Cuán regaladas y honestas respuestas tuve!
