From the common’s self through the paling-gaps,

—They house in the gravel-pits perhaps,

Where the road stops short with its safeguard border

Of lamps, as tired of such disorder;—

But the most turned in yet more abruptly

From a certain squalid knot of alleys,

Where the town’s bad blood once slept corruptly,

Which now the little chapel rallies

And leads into day again,—its priestliness

Lending itself to hide their beastliness
