- In the chaste breast of the Maid hidden a-sudden out-sprang;
- For did the hapless forget when in loose-girt garment it lurkèd,
- Forth would it leap as she rose, scared by her mother's approach,
- And while coursing headlong, it rolls far out of her keeping,
- O'er the triste virgin's brow flushes the conscious blush.
