With your harmonious choir
Encircle her I love and sing her into peace,
That my old care may cease....”

Those glances unafraid:

Did all the fabric fade;
No withered crone I saw
Before the world was made.””

Nothing but Cromwell’s house and Cromwell’s murderous crew,
The lovers and the dancers are beaten into the clay,
And the tall men and the swordsmen and the horsemen where are they?”
