Between his teeth, and chewed his iron boots

In spleen of love. But ere the morn was high

In the robustious heaven, the postern-tower

Clang to the harsh, discordant, slivering scream

Of the tire-woman, at the window bent

To dress her crispèd hair. She saw, ah woe!

The fair Miasma, overbalanced, hurled

O'er the flamboyant parapet which ridged

The muffled coping of the castle's peak,

Prone on the ivory pavement of the court,
