Living
LXXXIX
From The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume 2
Living
Oh, of course she charged her lacqueys to bear out the sickly burden,
And to cast it from her scornful sight, but not beyond the gate;
She is too kind to be cruel, and too haughty not to pardon
Such a man as I; 't were something to be level to her hate.
