Her verdant tomb remains--but where shall we seek her

[Footnote 1: There is nothing in this more extravagant than the similar
vision in the tragedy of Richard III.]
[Footnote 2: Yengo, a species of wild goose, is the emblem in China of
intersexual attachment and fidelity, being said never to pair again
after the loss of its mate. An image of it is worshipped by newly
married couples.]
[Footnote 3: Literally, "dragon person." The emperor's throne is often
called the "dragon seat."]
