"I should no longer," quoth he, "be master of my senses." Then she took an instrument and, changing the measure, began singing these verses, "The smack of parting's myrrh to me, * How, then, bear patience' aloe? I'm girt by ills in trinity * Severance, distance, cruelty! My freedom stole that fairest she, * And parting irks me bitterly."
Yea, merry each with each we made, together lay, Then fell to wine and did, in song, our cheer express; Nor knew we, of the days that fleeted over us, The present from the past, for very joy's excess. Fair fall all those that love of ease and twinned delight, And joy to them fulfil its promise none the less! Ne'er may they know the taste of parting's bitter cup!
And also these: O thou that seek'st to hasten on the feet Of parting's steeds, the matchless swift of flight, Forbear, for fortune's nature is deceit, And parting is the end of love delight. I paid no heed to her words, but kicked the alcove with all my might, and immediately the place grew dark, it thundered and lightened, the earth trembled and the world was wrapped in gloom.
So he passed the night in trouble and unease, tossing from side to side, as he were laid on coals of tamarisk-wood; for he was overcome with inquietude and sleep visited him not all that night; but his eyes ran over with tears and he repeated the following verses: The night, whilst the slanderers sleep, is tedious unto me; Suffice thee a heart that aches for parting's agony!
But she sat at a window of the castle and bethought her of what had passed, and passion and transport and love-longing redoubled upon her, till she burst into tears and repeated the following verses: To whom, of my desire complaining, shall I cry, To whom, for loss of loves and parting's sorrow, sigh?
On being released from the chain, instead of at once stepping up on the block, as he was signed to do, he turned to George, whose arms were still bound behind him, and, extending his hand, touched the latter lightly on the head by way of farewell, exclaiming "Well, cap'n, the moment of parting's come at last, and a sorrowful enough parting it is!
Annunziata thought by her earnest ways with me, happy and smiling as they were, that she must have been aware of our parting's approach but she was quite conscious, had words at command, and yet did not even speak of Peni, who was in the next room.
"We've done wrong and parting's paying. It's time to pay. We needn't have paid, if we'd kept to the track.... You and I, Master, we've got to be men." "Yes," I said; "we've got to be men." I was driven to tell Margaret about our situation by my intolerable dread that otherwise the thing might come to her through some stupid and clumsy informant. She might even meet Altiora, and have it from her.
