“Twas but in a sort⟳ I blam'd thee; None e'er prosper'd who defam'd thee; Irony all, and feign'd abuse, Such as perplext lovers use⟳”

“What might she mean⟳ by that? his large black eyes, Yet larger through his leanness, dwelt upon her, Till all her heart's sad secret blazed itself In the heart's colours on her simple face⟳; And Lancelot looked and was perplext in mind⟳, And being weak in body said no more; But did not love⟳ the colour; woman's love⟳, Save⟳ one, he not regarded, and so turned Sighing, and feigned a sleep⟳ until he slept.”
