Shot through the neck. And when they brought him in,

That tall young man, all pale, eyes closed, and bleeding,

Stretched on a mattress--without sigh or shudder

Irene had him carefully borne up

Into the room by Roger occupied

When he came wooing there,[3] Then, while they put

The wounded man to bed, she carried out

Herself his vest and cloak all black with blood;

Bade the old valet wear an air less glum,

And stir himself with more alacrity;
