"I saw her there

Bathed in witching moonlight

Stalking to the threshold of

Suffering Edwin's room"

"I caught her glare

A sevenfold fright

Its horror drains the might from man

And joy from woman's womb"

"Prospects dim

Edwin's death draws near

He cannot draw a breath without

Expulsion from his heart"

"Pity for him

But curses follow accursed in like

I reckon sin roots deeply

In the grounds of their wretched plot"
