Were shivered into pieces, and the curtain

Was dropt before him; so that the deposit

Left on the glass was forfeit to the Jew;

And he that knew it grieved: Now all at once,

With twelve great shocks of sound, the interlude

Was scraped on cat-gut from a dozen fiddles,

One after one, for neither did keep time,

Nor play in tune: and Madame Warton gained

Her chamber; whence re-issuing, as "Venus

Rising from the Sea," the ennui passed away,
