The Gentleman's Reply, more explicitly avowing his Passion.
Dearest Madam,
Now I have the Hope of being not more despised for my acknowledg’d Affection, I declare to you, with all the Sincerity of a Man of Honour, that I have long had a most sincere Passion for you; but I have seen Gentlemen led such Dances, when they have given up their Affections to the lovely Tyrants of their Hearts, and could not help themselves, that I had no Courage to begin an Address in the usual Forms, even to you, of whose good Sense and Generosity I had nevertheless a great Opinion. You have favoured me with a few Lines, which I most humbly thank you for. And I do assure you, Madam, if you will be pleased to encourage my humble Suit, you shall have so just an Account of my Circumstances and Pretensions, as I hope will intitle me to your Favour in the honourable Light, in which I profess myself, dear Madam,
Your most obliged and faithful Admirer.
Be so good as to favour me with one Line more, to encourage my personal Attendance, if not disagreeable.
