You see so far i' the story, who was right,

Who wrong, who neither, don't you? What, you don't?

Eh? Well, admit there 's somewhat dark i' the case,

Let 's on—the rest shall clear, I promise you.

Leap over a dozen years: you find, these passed,

An old good easy creditable sire,

A careful housewife's beaming bustling face,

Both wrapped, up in the love of their one child,

The strange tall pale beautiful creature grown

Lily-like out o' the cleft i' the sun-smit rock
