I' the desert, for the sake of one superb

Plane-tree which queened it there in solitude:

Giving her neck its necklace, and each arm

Its armlet, suiting soft waist, snowy side,

With cincture and apparel. Yes, I lodged

In those successive tenements; perchance

Taste yet the straitness of them while I stretch

Limb and enjoy new liberty the more.

And some abodes are lost or ruinous;

Some, patched-up and pieced-out, and so transformed
