Note 109 — THE WHITE DOE OF RYLSTONE;

Yet the meek Creature was not free, Erewhile, from some perplexity: For thrice hath she approached, this day, The thought-bewildered Emily; Endeavouring, in her gentle way, Some smile or look of love to gain,— Encouragement to sport or play; Attempts which by the unhappy Maid Have all been slighted or gainsaid. 1815.
