Not illustrated. 1846 edition. Excerpt: ...fair prize Then on his lovely face begins to pore, As if to glut her soul;--her hungry eyes Have grown so jealous of her arms' delight; It seems, she hath no other sense but sight. LvI. But O sad marvel! O most bitter strange! What dismal magic makes his cheek so pale, Why will he not embrace, --why not exchange Her kindly kisses;--wherefore not exhale Some odorous message from life's ruby gates, Where she his first sweet embassy awaits?

LXI. And o'er his steadfast cheek a furrow'd pain Hath set, and stiffen'd like a storm in ice, Showing by drooping lines the deadly strain Of mortal anguish;--yet you might gaze twice Ere Death it seem'd, and not his cousin, Sleep, That through those...
