A crowd, which divided itself into groups, is--

--the multitude,

Who _got_ in clumps----p. 26.

The impression made on these "clumps" by the sight of the Princess, is

thus "musically" described:

There's not in all that croud one _gallant_ being,

Whom, if his heart were whole, and _rank agreeing_,

It would not _fire to twice of what he is_,--p. 10.

"Dignity and strength"--

First came the trumpeters--

And as they _sit along_ their easy way,

Stately and _heaving_ to the croud below.--p. 12.

This word is deservedly a great favourite with the poet; he _heaves_ it

in upon all occasions.

The deep talk _heaves_.--p. 5.

With _heav'd_ out tapestry the windows glow.--p. 6.

Then _heave_ the croud.--_id_.

And after a rude _heave_ from side to side.--p. 7.

The marble bridge comes _heaving_ forth below.--p. 28.

"Fine understanding"--

The youth smiles _up_, and with a _lowly_ grace,

_Bending_ his _lifted_ eyes--p. 22.

This is very neat:

No peevishness there was--

But a _mute_ gush of _hiding_ tears from one,

Clasped to the _core_ of him who yet shed none.--p. 83.

The heroine is suspected of wishing to have some share in the choice of

her own husband, which is thus elegantly expressed:

She had stout notions on the marrying _score_.--p. 27.

This noble use of the word _score_ is afterwards carefully repeated in

speaking of the Prince, her husband--

--no suspicion could have touched him more,

Than that of _wanting_ on the generous _score_.--p. 48.

But though thus punctilious on the _generous score_, his Highness had

but a bad temper,

And kept no reckoning with his _sweets and sours_.--p. 47.
