Hereafter to be worn on arms and ears;

So one maid's trophy is another's tears!

"O foul Arch-Shadow, thou old cloud of Night,"

(Thus in her frenzy she began to wail,)

"Thou blank Oblivion—blotter-out of light,

Life's ruthless murderer, and dear love's bale!

Why hast thou left thy havoc incomplete,

Leaving me here, and slaying the more sweet?"
