Or "Kill that man and stamp him into dung."

"See her," he cried. He took his horse and swung

Out on the road to her; the rain was falling;

Her dropping house-eaves splashed him when he knocked there, calling.

Drowned yellow jasmine dripped; his horse's flanks

Steamed, and dark runnels on his yellow hair

Streaked the groomed surface into blotchy ranks.

The noise of water dropping filled the air.

He knocked again; but there was no one there;

No one within, the door was locked, no smoke
