The soul may be spotted
Metaphor in Context
LUDOPLH
A boon
When one can compass it. Auranthe, try
Your oratory--your breath is not so hitch'd--
Aye, stare for help--
[Albert groans and dies]
                                                      There goes a spotted soul
Howling in vain along the hollow night--
Hear him--he calls you--Sweet Auranthe, come!
