There Malcolm, leaping from his noontide sleep, Upstarted as at midnight, crying out, "She shall not wed him--rest you, wife, in peace!'They found him, Alfred, haggard-ey'd and faint, But holding Katie ever towards the sun, Unhurt, and waking in the fervent heat. And now it came that Alfred being sickOf his sharp hurts and tended by them both, With what was like to ...love, being born of thanks, Had choice of hours most politic to woo, And used his deed as one might use the sun, To ripen unmellow'd fruit; and from the coreOf Katie's gratitude hop'd yet to nurseA flow'r all to his liking--Katie's love.
