)?jx[ HE sent a herald forth
Jfcgi And bade him cry, with sound of
trumpet, all
L vT) The hard conditions; but that she
would loose
The people: therefore, as they loved
her well,
From then tili noon no foot should pace
the Street,
No eve look down, she passing ; but that all
Should keep within, doors shut and Windows
barr’d.
Then fled she to her inmost bower, and there
Unclasp’d the wedded eagles of her beit,
The grim Earl’s gift; but ever at a breath
She linger’d, looking like a summer moon
Half-dipt in cloud : anon she shook her head,
And shower’d the rippled ringlets to her knee ;
tTnclad herseif in haste ; adown the stair
Stole on ; and like a creeping sunbeam, slid
From pillar unto pillar, until she reach’d
The gateway ; there she found her palfrey trapt
In purple, blazon’d with armorial gold.
'Then she rode forth, clothed on with chastity :
The deep air listen’d round her as she rode,
And all the low wind hardly breathed for fear.”
Tknnyson.
The Pedestal of the Statuette in the early English style is enriched with enamel, and contains Bronze bas-reliefs, illustrating incidents
