Have caught the loveliness of palace-homes,

Canst neither quit thy mother-in-law nor shun

The scorn her princely kin to thee accord,

But, moving in the mother’s shade, between

Two fears that haunt thee, lead a tortured life,

Bored by restraint, and maddened by contempt,

Like luckless dweller ’neath Italian Alps,

’Tween ice and sun, and drawing down from both

The chills and scorchings of a double clime.
