    There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four
    which I know not:
    The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock;
    the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man
    with a maid.

No more than on the thing they lean.

Feed on her damask cheek. She pined in thought;

She sat like Patience on a monument,
Smiling at grief.
