Of possible atchievement: ... aught unfit

Thou wouldst not with these adjurations seek.

But who thou art, I marvel, that dost touch

Upon that string, and ask in Roderick’s name!...

She bared her face, and, looking up, replied,

Florinda!... Shrinking then, with both her hands

She hid herself, and bow’d her head abased

Upon her knee, ... as one who, if the grave

Had oped beneath her, would have thrown herself,

Even like a lover, in the arms of Death.
