An Acrostic

E lizabeth it is in vain you say
"L ove not" — thou sayest it in so sweet a way:
I n vain those words from thee or L.E.L.
Z antippe's talents had enforced so well:
A h! if that language from thy heart arise,
B reath it less gently forth — and veil thine eyes.
E ndymion, recollect, when Luna tried
T o cure his love — was cured of all beside —
H is follie — pride — and passion — for he died.
---Edgar Allen Poe
