| Still ringing with bruit of insults and dishonors | B |
| - | |
| And in fury left him | C |
| Glowering at the coal fire Come find me' her last taunt | D |
| He did not come | E |
| - | |
| But sat on guarding his grim battlement | F |
| By the doorstep | G |
| Her winter beheaded daisies marrowless gaunt | D |
| - | |
| Warned her to keep | H |
| Indoors with politic goodwill not haste | I |
| Into a landscape | J |
| - | |
| Of stark wind harrowed hills and weltering mist | K |
| But from the house | B |
| She stalked intractable as a driven ghost | L |
| - | |
| Across moor snows | B |
| Pocked by rock claw and rabbit track she must yet win | M |
| Him to his knees | B |
| - | |
| Let him send police and hounds to bring her in | M |

| Dozens dropped dead in the hedges o she felt | T |
| No love in his eye | V |
| - | |
| Worse saw dangling from that spike studded belt | T |
| Ladies' sheaved skulls | B |
| Mournfully the dry tongues clacked their guilt | T |
| - | |
| Our wit made fools | B |
| Of kings unmanned kings' sons our masteries | B |
| Amused court halls | B |
| - | |
| For that brag we barnacle these iron thighs ' | - |
| Throned in the thick | W |
| Of a blizzard the giant roared up with his chittering trophies | B |
| - | |
| From brunt of axe crack | X |
| She shied sideways a white fizz and the giant pursuing | Y |
| Crumbled to smoke | Z |
| - | |
| Humbled then and crying | Y |
| The girl bent homeward brimful of gentle talk | A2 |
| And mild obeying | Y |
