1 c3 Now in what wise the Gods who thus did give
So much, and took so much kept him alive
The tale< s > tells not but men of old did say
That when the winter tide was passed away
5 Unto the desolate place that was his home
Once again did the lone Orpheus come
Changed more than It – timeless & songless now
< With > Grey haired < and > with hollow cheeks and furrowed brow
And on< ce > \a morn/ as through the woods a maiden went
10 < Alone one > \Alone/ < A ma > she saw a man with head down bent
Standing beneath an oak grown thich with June
And piteous with the wood doves moaning tune
Faltered her feet when she beheld the man
Because his hair was matted his face wan
15 His raiment wild and strange X but as she stayed
And trembled at the first too much afraid
To flee or go on the man raised his face
And on the soft grey eyes of her gan gaze
Then a great pity through her fear there came
20 For spite of all she knew him for the same
Who but the past year oft would sit & sing
< There > in the < temple > \holy / close while youth & maiden
Foot unto foot a dancing – like a God
[Two lines written in the left margin may belong here or may belong where the X is marked eight lines above:] \That of the wood folk he mighter who brought
Great ills on men at whiles/
There would he sit and take with smiling mouth< s >
25 Kisses of maidens fain to quench the drouth
< Of sweet and > bitter < love > \sweet desire/ that burned them then
To be loved of that most sweet of men
Yea she herself had memory of the tide
When < # >\a/s she crept full softly to his his side
30 And kissed the wonder waking hand--but now
With dreadful eyes from neath his haggard brow
He glared upon her till all faint she knew
Then from his lips at last did there out break
Startling the wild wood things a dreadful shriek
35 And swift he fled away as one who fears
To hear pursueing footsteps fell his ears
Then trembling full of pity forth she went
Upon the way whereon she wa< n >\s/ intent –
But that same autumn tide when folk
40 With all the joyous streams their vats had had
Along the banks of wooded Hebrus strayed
Damsels of Bacchus making < a >\f/awns afraid
< T > \W/ith their wild joy mad with youth & wine
And seeing all the world glad and devine
45 Patient of nought dull were they at that tide
As through the berried woods they wandered wide
Losing the river here where swift it turned
Away from some steep hill – then were it burned
Wide in the sun betwixt green banks and low
50 Regaining it, so onward did they go
And still the wild wood tangles stayed them not
The woodland pools called not their limbs oer hot
And looser grew their hair with ivy crowned
And less their \hurt/ feet felt the uneven grow
[folio 14 verso c3:]
55 Wider their raiment floated in the wind
Bolder their limbs a##ting air to find
So through a hazel thicket at the last
Wildly with raiment torn aside they passed
< A > \O/n to a green place sloping < do > toward the stream
60 And in the sleepy sunlight then did gleam
Glitter attire white flesh and shiny hair
Bejewelled feet great gems on shoulders < fair > bare
Gold-plated vine wreathed stones tossed wildly up
With < ## >\he/re & there a thin beat jeweled cup
65 \Thin/ Raiment slipped adown or floating out
From eager limbs as with their maddening shout
Adown the slopes unto the ford they ran;
Then from the stream side slowly turned a man

70 And faced them pale & gaunt and wild

He looked round with no wonder as they came
Dancing about him calling on the < m >\na/me
75 Of him who moved them till they ringed him round
And closed about him then a dreadful sound
Burst from his lips of hate & fear and scorn
And therewithal across the rout was born
A curse on Gods & women, and the lord
80 Who ruled that route unseen moved by that word
As tells the tale cast rage into their hearts
Their wild brows scowled upon his visage pale
As < silent > round \about/ him for a while they stood
In sudden silence < neither sweet nor > \boding nothing good/ good
85 Then rose in hands too eager mad to feel
The golden staves, and round gan surge and reel
The < maddened > crowd all maddened by blind god like hate
Until the autumn sun sank over late
And in the river did the pale moon gleam
90 And them as waking a fevered dream
They drew back trembling and began to stare
Each upon each and on a thing laid there
< Hopeless > Moveless and dead, then some beside him knelt
Sighing & weak as sick folk and some felt
95 His wasted hands, and \weeping/ some < his dear hand > upraised
< Weeping > His head w\h/erefrom his fixed and sad eyes gazed
Reproachfully upon < h >\th/em as to s< l >ay
The very love chased from the world has chased away
Yet would not let live lonely wondering –
100 How shall ye live without this precious thing –
Then gan low wailing round about to be
And in a while they raised him tenderly
And for his corpse a bier of boughs they wove
And slowly < through > to the golden house of love
105 Bore through the solemn shadows of the night
Orpheus the singer called the world delight
Who\se spirit/ strove with Gods and had prevailed
But that the flesh looked back ward once & failed
