Fame of the love of Isoud, whom from home

Brought knightly Tristram o'er the Irish foam,

And Guenevere's for Launcelot of the Lake.

And then how passion from these seemed to wake

Longing for some great gallant who would slake—

And such found Accolon.

And then she thought

How far she'd fallen and how darkly fraught

With consequence was this. Then what distress

Were hers and his—her lover's; and success
