Punch, March 17, 1866. A little castle she drew nigh, With seven towers twelve inches high.... O Miserie! A baby castle, all a-flame With many a flower that hath no name, O Miserie! It had a little moat all round: A little drawbridge too she found; O Miserie! On which there stood a stately maid, Like her in radiant locks arrayed.... O Miserie! Save that her locks grew rank and wild, By weaver's shuttle undefiled!... O Miserie! Who held her brush and comb, as if Her faltering hands had waxed stiff, O Miserie! With baulkt endeavour! whence she sung A chant, the burden whereof rung: O Miserie! "These hands have striven in vain To part These locks that won GAUWAINE His heart!"IIIIVVBeginning of this editionNext chapter →PREFACEAll chapters and sections (9)Other sectionsGEORGE DU MAURIERPREFACEILLUSTRATIONSChapters12Parts3Part 3 · Chapters345THE SATIRIST OF THE VICTORIANSA REVIEW OF HIS ART AND PERSONALITYBY T.
