Canto II. HAROLD THE DAUNTLESS. 139 Yet free though he trespass'd on woodland game, More known and more fear'd was the wizard fame Of Jutta of Bookhope, the Outlaw's dame ; Fear'd when she frown'd was her eye of flame, More fear'd when in wrath she laugh'd ; For then, 'twas said, more fatal true To its dread aim her spell-glance flew, Than when from Wulfstane's bended yew Sprung forth the gray-goose shaft. IV. Yet had this fierce and dreaded pair, So Heaven decreed, a daughter fair ; None brigh...ter crown'd the bed, In Britain's bounds, of peer or prince. Nor hath, perchance, a lovelier since In this fair isle been bred. And nought of fraud, or ire, or ill. Was known to gentle Metelill, — A simple maiden she ; The spells in dimpled smile that lie, And a downcast blush, and the darts that fly With the sidelong glance of a hazel eye, Were her arms and witchery. So young, so simple was she yet, She scarce could childhood's joys forget. And still she loved, in secret set Beneath the greenwood tree.
