And fit, she for the 'apage' he flung,

Her letters for the flame they went to feed!

But, now he sees her face and hears her speech,

Much he repents him if, in fancy-freak

For a moment the minutest measurable,

He coupled her with the first flimsy word

O' the self-spun fabric some mean spider-soul

Furnished forth: stop his films and stamp on him!

Never was such a tangled knottiness,

But thus authority cuts the Gordian through,
