So once more he had waked and anguished

A dreary night of love and misery,

If Isabel’s quick eye had not been wed

To every symbol on his forehead high:

She saw it waxing very pale and dead,

And straight all flush’d; so, lisped tenderly,

“Lorenzo!”⁠—here she ceased her timid quest,

But in her tone and look he read the rest.
