She solely to the camp had ta'en her way,

  To visit him that on a sick-bed smarted;

  Nor once alone; but often all the day

  There passed that maid, and but at eve departed:

  Who gave yet greater cause of her to say,

  That — known as one so haughty and hard-hearted,

  Who all the world despised — she now was grown

  Benign and humble to the Child alone.
