This hidden unto death; at either’s will

To meet and part in secret; to infold

In their own hearts their trespass and delight,

Nor look their love, but guard it day or night.

So fell the blameless Prince. That day more late

Than wont he reached the presence of the Queen,

Deep in a palace chamber, where she sate

Fondling his child. The sunset lit her mien,

And made a saintly glory in her hair;

An awe came on him as he saw her there.
