Lovers' Vows

ANHALT. Why do you force from me, what it is villanous to own?--I love you more than life--Oh, Amelia! had we lived in those golden times, which the poet's picture, no one but you ---- But as the world is changed, your birth and fortune make our union impossible--To preserve the character, and more the feelings of an honest man, I would not marry you without the consent of your father--And could I, dare I propose it to him.Inchbald is the author of 'Lovers' Vows', published 2004 under ISBN 9781419131660 and ISBN 1419131664.
