Through the deer-herd to stroke the snow-white fawn

I brought to eat bread from her tiny hand

Within a month. She ever had a smile

To greet me with—she ... if it could undo

What's done, to lop each limb from off this trunk ...

All that is foolish talk, not fit for you—

I mean, I could not speak and bring her hurt

For Heaven's compelling. But when I was fixed

To hold my peace, each morsel of your food

Eaten beneath your roof, my birth-place too,
