Pitying her pain; so sweet a spirited thing

She was, and daughter of a kindly king.

And spying what strange bright secret charge was kept

Fair in that maid's white bosom while she slept,

She sought and drew the gold cup forth and smiled,

Marvelling, with such light wonder as a child

That hears of glad, sad life in magic lands;

And bear it back to Tristram with pure hands

Holding the love draught that should be for flame

To burn out of them fear and faith and shame."
