    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!

Whatever guilt is perpetrated by some evil prompting, is grievous

Their life was shame, their epitaph was guilt;
And this they knew and felt, at least the one,
The leader of the hand he had undone,--
Who, born for better things, had madly set
His life upon a cast, which linger'd yet.
