The cause unknown—we say, “as things fall out”— }
The damsel enter’d there, in wand’ring round about. }
At first she saw not Henry; and she ran,
As from a ghost, when she beheld a man.
She was esteem’d a beauty through the hall,
And so admitted, with consent of all;
And, like a treasure, was her beauty kept
From every guest who in the mansion slept; 200
Whether as friends who join’d the noble pair,
Or those invited by the steward there.
