I averted it
and looked at my feet.
When my ears clamored
to hear his talk,
I stopped them.
When my cheeks broke out
in sweat and goosebumps,
I covered them with my hands.

when the seams of my bodice
burst in a hundred places,
what could I do?”

Their limbs with dust are covered oer
Weep on, ye springs, your tearful tide;
How many heroes are no more!”
