Turn'd comets as the tale was brought to light;

And all looked downward on the fatal wave,

And made their own reflections on her grave.

XVI.

Next night, a head—a little lady head,

Push'd through the waters a most glassy face,

With weedy tresses, thrown apart and spread,

Comb'd by 'live ivory, to show the space

Of a pale forehead, and two eyes that shed

A soft blue mist, breathing a bloomy grace
