Its mimic ornaments; and then again,

When she had seen it all, and he had grown

Impatient, she began to note once more

The frailties in its lightly plaited reeds,

As if she did not know that it was meant

To kill. It is a wonderful effect

Of nature in the heart, that in the strength

Of a mistaken duty, it will turn,

And almost trifle with its tenderness,

As if it half misgave that all was wrong.
