Infuriate she kicked against Imperial fact;

Vulnant she felt

What pin-stab should have stained Another's pelt

Puncture her own Colonial lung-balloon,

At need's pinch, sick with spleen of the rudely cuffed

Below her breath she cursed; she cursed the hour

When on her spring for him the young Tyrannical broke

Amid the unhallowed wedlock's vodka-shower,
