Isabella- isabella

• "fair isabel, poor simple isabel!"
• "sweet isabella's untouched cheek"
• "on her low couch murmuring where? o where?"
• "so sweet isabel/by gradual decay from beauty fell"
• "what feverous hectic flame/burns in thee, child?" (nurse)
• "to dig more feverently than miters can"
• "isabella did not stamp and rave"
• "put it in her bosom, where it dries and freezes utterly unto the bone"
• "three hours they laboured"
• "and she forgot the stars, the moon and the sun, and she forgot the blue above the trees"
• "she had no knowledge when the day was done"
• "hung over her sweet basil evermore"
• "she withers, like a palm/cut by an indian for its juicy balm"
• "wondered that such a dower/of youth and beauty should be thrown aside/by one marked out to be a noble's bride"
• "her dead eyes"
• "for isabel, sweet isabel, will die/will die a death too lone and incomplete"
• "oh cruelty,/to steal my basil-pot away from me!"
