CXCIII.

[In wrath a youth was heard to say]

In wrath a youth was heard to say,
“From girl so false I turn away.
By all that's sacred ice shall burn
And sun shall freeze ere I return.”
But as he went, at least one finger
Within her hand was found to linger;
One foot, that should outstrip the wind,
(But only one) drew loads behind.
