And what is that? Devotion, doubtless—how

Could you ask such a question?—but we will

Continue. As I said, this goodly row

Of ladies of all countries at the will[345]Of one good man, with stately march and slow,

Like water-lilies floating down a rill—

Or rather lake—for rills do not run slowly,—

Paced on most maiden-like and melancholy.
