----Still he followed, ----and still I fled him----but I fled him chearfully----still he pursued----but, like one who pursued his prey without hope----as he lagg'd, every step he lost, soften'd his looks----why should I fly him at this rate?

- Still he followed, and still I fled him, but I fled him cheerfully - and he lagged like one without hope of catching his prey. - Why should I fly him at this rate?
