Thus the beguiler she beguiles; So that, departing at the evening's close, She says, "She may be saved!
"The Complete Poetical Works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow"
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Poor girls, whose argument's the same For seeking or denying, Who kiss to shield yourselves from blame, And kiss for justifying; How am I better now or worse, beguiler or beguiled, Who crave to nurse a clay-cold corse, And kiss a dead child?
"The Village Wife's Lament"
Maurice Hewlett
The fact that sweet wishes come second, and not so loudly, assured him they were quite secondary; for the lover sunk to sophist may be self-beguiled by the arts which render him the potent beguiler.
