“Maud Muller looked and sighed: Ah me!
That I the Judges bride might be!

And praise and toast me at his wine.
My father should wear a broadcloth coat,
My brother should sail a painted boat.”

Is it the old, the roseate parent or
The bride come jingling, kissed and cupped, or else
The spirit and all ensigns of the self?”
