“At length they all to merry London came,
To merry London, my most kindly nurse,
That to me gave this life’s first native source;
Though from another place I take my name,
An house of ancient fame.”

A rosy stone that takes
a glowing tone of softness
only because behind it the sky is a doubtful, a doubting
night gray.”
