Upon a Dying Lady(五)

字號:


     V
     Her Race
     She has not grown uncivil
     As narrow natures would
     And called the pleasures evil
     Happier days thought good;
     She knows herself a woman,
     No red and white of a face,
     Or rank, raised from a common
     Unreckonable race;
     And how should her heart fail her
     Or sickness break her will
     With her dead brother's valour
     For an example still?
