xi.
She loveth her own anguish deep
More than much pleasure. Let her will
Be done—to weep or not to weep.
xii.

For that is not a common chance
That takes away a noble mind.

That broods above the fallen sun,
And dwells in heaven half the night.
xiv.

Her voice seemed distant, and a tear
Dropt on my tablets as I wrote.
