Until at length her soul was satisfied.

"You see the Infant's Grave; and to this spot,

The Mother, oft as she was sent abroad,

On whatsoever errand, urged her steps:

Hither she came; here stood, and sometimes knelt[612]

In the broad day, a rueful Magdalene!

So call her; for not only she bewailed

A mother's loss, but mourned in bitterness

Her own transgression; penitent sincere

As ever raised to heaven a streaming eye!
