While Annie still was mistress; but at times
Enoch would hold possession for a week:
‘This is my house and this my little wife.’
‘Mine too,’ said Philip ‘turn and turn about:’
When, if they quarrell’d, Enoch stronger-made 30

All flooded with the helpless wrath of tears,
Shriek out ‘I hate you, Enoch,’ and at this
The little wife would weep for company,
And pray them not to quarrel for her sake, 35
