For he that always bare in bitter grudge
                            The slights of Arthur and his Table, Mark
                            The Cornish King, had heard a wandering voice,
                            A minstrel of Caerlon by strong storm
                            Blown into shelter at Tintagil, say
                            That out of naked knightlike purity
                            Sir Lancelot worshipt no unmarried girl
                            But the great Queen herself, fought in her name,
                            Sware by her--vows like theirs, that high in heaven
                            Love most, but neither marry, nor are given
                            In marriage, angels of our Lord's report.
                                                        --Tennyson                        TO EXAMPLE #18
