The rich man turned with humble head,—

"I will send my dogs to lick your sores!"

SHE TOLD HER BEADS

She told her beads with down-cast eyes,

Within the ancient chapel dim;

And ever as her fingers slim

Slipt o'er th' insensate ivories,

My rapt soul followed, spaniel-wise.

Ah, many were the beads she wore;

But as she told them o'er and o'er,
