Our Laura's Turk still kept his eyes upon her,

Less in the Mussulman than Christian way,

Which seems to say, "Madam, I do you honour,

And while I please to stare, you'll please to stay."

Could staring win a woman, this had won her,

But Laura could not thus be led astray;

She had stood fire too long and well, to boggle

Even at this Stranger's most outlandish ogle.
