XLII
And they are gone: aye, ages long ago
These lovers fled away into the storm.
That night the Baron dreamt of many a woe,
And all his warrior-guests, with shade and form
Of witch, and demon, and large coffin-worm,
Were long be-nightmared. Angela the old
Died palsy-twitch’d, with meagre face deform:
The Beadsman, after thousand aves told,
For aye unsought-for slept among his ashes cold.
