Ramparts and towers,
Maidens disdainful
In Beauty's array,
Both shall be ours!†*disdainful = full of disrespect - Quiet he lies, and grins disdain:
Not yet, it seems, have I given him pain.†disdain = a lack of respect - FAUST

Creative force, in cold disdain
You now oppose the fist infernal,
Whose wicked clench is all in vain!† - I take the wildering whirl, enjoyment's keenest pain,
Enamored hate, exhilarant disdain.†
