"The Highwayman" and "The Gentlemen of the Road"

"He tapped with his whip on the shutters, but all was locked and barred."

"Back, he spurred like a madman, shouting a curse to the sky,
With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high."

"His face burnt like a brand
As the black cascade of perfume came tumbling over his breast;
And he kissed its waves in the moonlight,"

In "Gentlemen of the Road" as "defied."

"The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas."

"They had tied her up to attention, with many a sniggering jest."

"He whistled a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there; But the landlord'€™s black-eyed daughter, Bess, the landlord'€™s daughter, Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair."

"And he rode with a jewelled twinkle; His pistol butts a-twinkle,
His rapier hilt a-twinkle, under the jewelled sky."

"For the road lay bare in the moonlight; Blank and bare in the moonlight; And the blood of her veins, in the moonlight, throbbed to her lover's refrain."

"He scarce could reach her hand."

"Back, he spurred like a madman..."

"She would not risk their hearing; she would not strive again."

"And out of the tawny sunset, before the rise of the moon,
When the road was a gypsy's ribbon, looping the purple moor,
A red-coat troop came marching..."

"The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees."

"She writhed her hands till her fingers were wet with sweat or blood"
