A spell that sings seductive on to death.

Then paused she at one chamber; for a breath

Listened: and here her son Sir Ewain slept,

He who of ravens a black army kept,

In war than fiercest men more terrible,

That tore forth eyes of kings who blinded fell.

Sure that he slept, to Urience stole and stood

Dim by his couch. About her heart hot blood

Caught strangling, then throbbed thudding fever up

To her broad eyes, like wine whirled in a cup.
