The handsomest young man there,
And his neck and his breast and his arms
Were drowned in her long dim hair.”

And me supposed to be ignorant,
Or find it funny, or not to care....”

To pluck bright honor from the pale-faced moon,
Or dive into the bottom of the deep,
Where fathom-line could never touch the ground,
And pluck up drowned honor by the locks.”
