    But mine, and mine I loved, and mine I praised,
    And mine that I was proud on--mine so much
    That I myself was to myself not mine,
    Valuing of her--why she, O, she is fall'n
    Into a pit of ink, that the wide sea
    Hath drops too few to wash her clean again,
    And salt too little which may season give
    To her foul tainted flesh!
