And therewithal one came and seized on her,

And Enid started, waking, with her heart

All overshadow’d by the foolish dream, 675

And lo! it was her mother grasping her

To get her well awake: and in her hand

A suit of bright apparel, which she laid

Flat on the couch, and spoke exultingly:

“See here, my child, how fresh the colours look, 680

How fast they hold like colours of a shell

That keeps the wear and polish of the wave!
