[The Princess; A Medley.]
CONCLUSION
[Lines not used in the final version.]
[_]
These lines were omitted, and the forty-six lines (pp. 140-42), who might have told to garden rails, were inserted, written just after the disturbances in France, February 1848, when Louis Philippe was compelled to abdicate.
A treatise growing with it, and might have flow'd
In axiom worther to be graven on rock
Than all that lasts of old world hieroglyph,
Or lichen-fretted Rune and arrowhead!
But that there rose a shout; the gates were closed
276
To take their leave, about the garden rails,
And I and some went out, and mingled with them.
