And where, I pray you is the Queen

Who will’d that Buridan should steer

Sew’d in a sack’s mouth down the Seine? . . .

But where are the snows of yester-year?

White Queen Blanche, like a queen of lilies,

With a voice like any mermaiden,—

Bertha Broadfoot, Beatrice, Alice,

And Ermengarde the lady of Maine,—

And that good Joan whom Englishmen

At Rouen doom’d and burn’d her there,—
