Wane, be at rest.'

Facile fu il ferro
la morbida
mano forasse
traverso il peplo ambrosio che
avevano tessuto le Grazie.
E il sangue immortale della Diva
sprizzò, l'icore

So the Prince was tended with care …
Oh, a moon face in a shadowy place,
And a light touch and a winsome grace

"From the other world I come back to you,
My locks are uncurled with dripping drenching dew.
You know the old, whilst I know the new:
But tomorrow you shall know this too."
--Christina Rossetti

That juice was wormwood to her tongue,
She loath’d the feast:
Writhing as one possess’d she leap’d and sung,
Rent all her robe, and wrung’ Goblin Market,

For this is Rossetti’s preparatory sketch for a painting, ‘Lady Lilith’.
