And set them to thee—such a tribute, lady,

As beauty rarely scorns, even from the meanest.

The name—appended by the burning heart

That long'd to show its idol what bright things

It had created—yea, the enthusiast's name,

That should have been thy triumph, was thy scorn;

That very hour—when passion, turn'd to wrath,

Resembled hatred most—when thy disdain

Made my whole soul a chaos—in that hour

The tempters, found me a revengeful tool
