The scents of red roses and sandalwood flutter
and die in the maze of their gem-tangled hair,
And smiles are entwining like magical serpents
the poppies of lips that are opiate-sweet;
Their
glittering
garments of purple are burning
like tremulous dawns in the quivering air,
And exquisite, subtle and slow are the tinkle
and tread of their rhythmical, slumber-soft feet.

Come, Winter, with thine angry howl,
And raging bend the naked tree:
Thy gloom will sooth my
cheerless
soul,
When nature all is sad like me!

And went his

And each knight found a lady-love
Before the fall of day.

Or is
entombed
so still
That only to the ear of God
Its doom is audible.

No words can tell in what celestial hour
God made your soul and gave it mortal birth,
Nor in the
disarray
of all the stars
Is any place so sweet that such a flower
Might linger there until thro' heaven's bars,
It heard God's voice that bade it down to earth.

But from effecting what he had intended
He was
prevented
by the warlike maid;
Who late into the crowded square had wended,
With Sansonnet and England's duke arrayed,
Seeing the arms of which I spoke suspended,
She straight agnized the harness she surveyed,
Once hers, and dear to her; as matters are
Esteemed by us as excellent and rare;

Though, as a hindrance, she upon the road
Had left the arms, when, to retrieve her sword,
She from her shoulders slipt the ponderous load,
And chased Brunello, worthy of the cord.
