Why is Tattiana guiltier deemed?⁠— + 

Because in singleness of thought + 

She never of deception dreamed + 

But trusted the ideal she wrought?⁠— + 

Because her passion wanted art, + 

Obeyed the impulses of heart?⁠— + 

Because she was so innocent, + 

That Heaven her character had blent + 

With an imagination wild, + 

With intellect and strong volition + 

And a determined disposition, + 

An ardent heart and yet so mild?⁠— + 

Doth love’s incautiousness in her + 

So irremissible appear? + 
