[[106-11]]
Saying that she should command
The service of Sir Leoline;
And straight be convoy'd, free from thrall,
Back to her noble father's hall.
MS. W., S. T. C. (c), S. H., First Edition.
[Text, which follows H. 1816, was first adopted in 1828.]
[[112-22]]
So up she rose and forth they pass'd
With hurrying steps yet nothing fast.
Her lucky stars the lady blest,
And Christabel she sweetly said—
All our household are at rest,
Each one sleeping in his bed;
Sir Leoline is weak in health,
And may not awakened be,
So to my room we'll creep in stealth,
And you to-night must sleep with me.
MS. W., S. T. C. (a), S. T. C. (c), S. H.
[So, too, First Edition, with the sole variant, 'And may not well awakened be'.]
[[114-17]]
Her smiling stars the lady blest,
And thus bespake sweet Christabel:
All our household is at rest,
The hall as silent as a cell.
