Examples

“[T]he fair star / That gems the glittering coronet of morn, / Sheds not a light⟳ so mild, so powerful, / As that which, bursting from the Fairy's form⟳, / Spread⟳ a purpureal halo round the scene, / Yet with an undulating motion, / Swayed to her outline gracefully.”

“Kind hearts are more than coronets, / And simple faith than Norman blood.”
