Once more in adoration bent the knee,
And brought the faded Pagan to full blow:
For which her throne she gave: not we!
- My version, madam, runs not to that end.
A certain madness of an hour half past,
Caught her like fever; her just lord no friend
She fancied; aimed beyond beauty, and thence grew
The prim acerbity, sweet Love's outcast.
