_"O Leoline! be absolutely just._"--

"O Leoline! be absolutely just,

Indulge no passion and betray no trust.

Never let man be bold enough to say

Thus and no farther shall my passion stray.

The first step past still leads us on to more,

And guilt proves fate which was but choice before."

Who is the author of the above?
