IN THEE MY ART
In thee is all my art; from thee I draw
Of practised thought; I can no measure scan,
Of broad estate, won from posterity;
Richer than prelates pray for with their beads;
If some should bring before me frankincense,
If there were given me for recompense
Gifts fairer than a seraph could devise:
"It all is thine; thou.html">thou showedst me the way."
Thee on the brow, or smooth thy silken hair?
Or fold my arms about my new-found bliss?
Must I unto the courses of my age
The temple that is now my holy fane,
The bounds where I my lady have enshrined;
Of thy soft cheek? If thou command, my lips
TESTAMENT
Why do I love.html">love thee? Shall my answer run:
Because of some sweet glamour in thy face,
Challenge the world to show a gentler mien,
Upon thy brow is borrowed from their lands?
Shall I trace out a map of all thy worth,
I learned to love her; here new charms had birth;
I in this territory caught a bliss"?
And crowd the total into common space?
Before thy question, and know naught to say;
Love led me, nor e'en register Love's cause.
It can but blazon in this verse of mine
What is its quickening; but it refrains
To bring me as a captive to thy feet?
Or is it that both stand amazed before
