Summary
Asking what he wrote to make her so upset; telling her that it is ugly to cry when they could be laughing and kissing; accusing her of being like other women who want too much; saying that he does not want to be more passionate because he cannot, nor should; entreating her not to leave and promising to come to her this evening.
