Quotations
The hallow'd hour was near at hand: she sighs / Amid the timbrels, and the throng'd resort / Of whisperers in anger, or in sport; / 'Mid looks of love, defiance, hate, and scorn, / Hoodwink'd with faery fancy; all amort, / Save to St. Agnes and her lambs unshorn, / And all the bliss to be before to-morrow morn.
