“Ah! why wilt thou affright a feeble soul? + 

A poor, weak, palsy-stricken, church-yard thing, + 

Whose passing-bell may ere the midnight toll; + 

Whose prayers for thee, each morn and evening, + 

Were never miss’d.” Thus plaining, doth she bring + 

A gentler speech from burning Porphyro; + 

So woeful, and of such deep sorrowing, + 

That Angela gives promise she will do + 

Whatever he shall wish, betide her weal or woe. + 
