And when you add to this, her Womanhood

In its meridian, her blue eyes[519] or gray—

(The last, if they have soul, are quite as good,

Or better, as the best examples say:

Napoleon's, Mary's[520] (Queen of Scotland), should

Lend to that colour a transcendent ray;

And Pallas also sanctions the same hue,

Too wise to look through optics black or blue)—
