[15.] Insert:—
And this is now the second time. Then hear—
By your stark stubbornness, upon an earth
Where all’s in flux, the only rigid thing;
By every day of loveliness I lived
With you to share, each day that now no more
I dare remember; by my future, which
Can never bring to me such days again;
Yea, by the very shudder which were fain
E’en now to choke this oath; this day, this hour
