A dewdrop, plain as amber prisons round

A spider in the hollow heart his house!

Nowise are you that thing my fancy feared

When out you stepped on me, a minute since,

—This man's confederate! no, you step not thus

Obsequiously at beck and call to help

At need some second scheme, and supplement

Guile by force, use my shame to pinion me

From struggle and escape! I fancied that!

Forgive me! Only by strange chance,—most strange
