At length burst in the argent revelry, + 

With plume, tiara, and all rich array, + 

Numerous as shadows haunting fairily + 

The brain, new-stuff’d, in youth, with triumphs gay + 

Of old romance. These let us wish away, + 

And turn, sole-thoughted, to one Lady there, + 

Whose heart had brooded, all that wintry day, + 

On love, and wing’d St. Agnes’ saintly care, + 

As she had heard old dames full many times declare. + 
