That I with such dread penalties as these

Should wither here on these high-towering crags,

Lighting on this lone hill and neighbourless.

Wherefore wail not for these my present woes,

But, drawing nigh, my coming fortunes hear,

280

That ye may learn the whole tale to the end.

Nay, hearken, hearken; show your sympathy

With him who suffers now. 'Tis thus that woe,

Wandering, now falls on this one, now on that.
