"You to be like any one of us breeched, clouted, swathed and a lovely lass within your shirt Madonna!" "Do you think me lovely?" asked Ippolita devoutly. "I have heard that till I have been sick to death of it; but from you I shall never be tired of knowing it." "Blessed Angel!" "Oh, Pilade, my love!" They loitered on.

My nurse and I admired his name exceedingly, so that I must have been taught the love of beautiful sounds before I was breeched; and I remember two specimens of his muse until this day: "Behind the hills of Naphtali The sun went slowly down, Leaving on mountain, tower, and tree, A tinge of golden brown." There is imagery here, and I set it on one side.
