PEEPING TOM
THEN SHE RODE BACK,
CLOTHED ON WITH CHASTITY:
AND ONE LOW CHURL,
COMPACT OF THANKLESS EARTH,
THE FATAL BYWORD OF ALL YEARS TO COME
BORING A LITTLE AUGUR-HOLE IN FEAR,
PEEP'D -- BUT HIS EYES,
BEFORE THEY HAD THEIR WILL,
WERE SHRIVELL'D INTO DARKNESS
IN HIS HEAD,
AND DROPT BEFORE HIM.
Image of Lady Godiva
riding horseback through
the streets of Coventry.
beneath are words written on plinth:-
THEN SHE RODE FORTH,
CLOTHED ON WITH CHASTITY.
LADY GODIVA
SO THE POWERS, WHO WAIT
ON NOBLE DEEDS,
CANCELL'D A SENSE MISUSED;
AND SHE THAT KNEW NOT, PASS'D;
AND ALL AT ONCE,
WITH TWELVE GREAT SHOCKS
OF SOUND
THE SHAMELESS NOON
WAS CLASH'D AND HAMMER'D
FROM A HUNDRED TOWERS,
ONE AFTER ONE,
BUT EVEN THEN SHE GAIN'D
HER BOWER; WHENCE REISSUING,
ROBED AND CROWN'D,
TO MEET HER LORD,
SHE TOOK THE TAX AWAY
AND BUILT HERSELF
AN EVERLASTING NAME
TENNYSON
