In braided shadows, when two hairy arms

Hug her unconscious beauty panting white;

Till tearful terror, struggling into might,

Beats the brute brow resisting; yields and fades,

Exhausted, to the grim Lust her rich charms.

THE LAST SCION OF THE HOUSE
OF CLARE.

Year 13—.

BARBICAN, bartizan, battlement,

With the Abergavenny mountains blent,
