Tennyson wrote two versions of the poem, one published in 1833, of twenty stanzas, the other in 1842 of nineteen stanzas.
The poem never actually talks about that. The Lady of Shalott obviously knows about the curse, and who put the curse on it, but "She knows not what the curse may be". My guess is that it was probably a wizard, possibly Merlin.
After she looked directly through the window and the curse had fallen on her, the Lady of Shalott in the island came down to the river and lay down on the boat in her trance at the closing of the day. She floated down to Camelot on her final journey through the noises of the night, leaves lightly falling upon her all the way. When the dead and still Lady of Shalott reached and floated by under the tower and balcony and between the high houses of Camelot, the sound of royal midnight revelry died in the nearby lighted palace, and seeing the drifting body, they all crossed themselves for fear. Therefore it can be logically assumed that it was during the midnight that the gone Lady of Shalott reached Camelot.
A baldric is a sash worn across the chest, from shoulder to hip - blazoned means that it had the person's coat of arms embroidered on it. Slung means thrown across his chest.
Even if it was a lady sweet heart that died, Tennyson could not have written In Memoriam more sweetly. Alfred Tennyson and his friend Arthur Hallam shared an ardent relationship between them, comparable only to Nepolean and Josephine. When going through some parts of In Memoriam which was the effect and result of the demise of his loved friend, we will quite forget that it was a man who was lost to the poet. Anyway, the death of Hallam roused Tennyson to such lofty emotions and philosophies for him to sing: Our fathers' dust is left alone and Silent under other snows Where in due time the woodbine burns, the Violet comes, but we are gone.
