Roll back from far to the belovèd shore.

THE SCOLDING.

Do not scold me so, my dear,

Wrath with words so feebly matching!

Such a scolding soothes my ear;

I’m your words intent on catching;

As they issue suddenly,

Pouring forth in pretty prattling,

What marvel that they sound to me

Pearls on silver salver rattling!
