[Sir Launcelot and Queen Guinevere]

[lines not used in the final version]

Life of the Life within my Blood,
Light of the Light within mine Eyes,
The May begins to breathe and bud,
And softly blow the balmy skies:
Bathe with me in the fiery Flood,
And mingle Kisses, Tears, and Sighs—

353

Life of the Life within my Blood,
Light of the Light within mine Eyes!”
