Preludes	A
	-
I Love Ceremonious	A
Keep your undrest familiar style	B
For strangers but respect your friend	C
Her most whose matrimonial smile	B
Is and asks honour without end	C
'Tis found and needs it must so be	D
That life from love's allegiance flags	A
When love forgets his majesty	D
In sloth's unceremonious rags	A
Let love make home a gracious Court	E
There let the world's rude hasty ways	A
Be fashion'd to a loftier port	E
And learn to bow and stand at gaze	A
And let the sweet respective sphere	F
Of personal worship there obtain	G
Circumference for moving clear	F
None treading on another's train	G
This makes that pleasures do not cloy	H
And dignifies our mortal strife	I
With calmness and considerate joy	H
Befitting our immortal life	I
	-
	-
II The Rainbow	J
A stately rainbow came and stood	K
When I was young in High Hurst Park	L
Its bright feet lit the hill and wood	K
Beyond and cloud and sward were dark	L
And I who thought the splendour ours	A
Because the place was t'wards it flew	M
And there amidst the glittering showers	A
Gazed vainly for the glorious view	M
With whatsoever's lovely know	J
It is not ours stand off to see	D
Or beauty's apparition so	J
Puts on invisibility	D
	-
III A Paradox	A
To tryst Love blindfold goes for fear	F
He should not see and eyeless night	N
He chooses still for breathing near	F
Beauty that lives but in the sight	N
	-
	-
The County Ball	O
	-
I	-
Well Heaven be thank'd my first love fail'd	P
As Heaven be thank'd our first loves do	M
Thought I when Fanny past me sail'd	P
Loved once for what I never knew	M
Unless for colouring in her talk	Q
When cheeks and merry mouth would show	J
Three roses on a single stalk	Q
The middle wanting room to blow	J
And forward ways that charm'd the boy	H
Whose love sick mind misreading fate	R
Scarce hoped that any Queen of Joy	H
Could ever stoop to be his mate	R
	-
II	-
But there danced she who from the leaven	S
Of ill preserv'd my heart and wit	T
All unawares for she was heaven	S
Others at best but fit for it	T
One of those lovely things she was	A
In whose least action there can be	D
Nothing so transient but it has	A
An air of immortality	D
I mark'd her step with peace elate	R
Her brow more beautiful than morn	U
Her sometime look of girlish state	R
Which sweetly waived its right to scorn	U
The giddy crowd she grave the while	B
Although as 'twere beyond her will	V
Around her mouth the baby smile	B
That she was born with linger'd still	V
Her ball dress seem'd a breathing mist	W
From the fair form exhaled and shed	X
Raised in the dance with arm and wrist	W
All warmth and light unbraceleted	W
Her motion feeling 'twas beloved	W
The pensive soul of tune express'd	W
And oh what perfume as she moved	W
Came from the flowers in her breast	W
How sweet a tongue the music had	W
Beautiful Girl it seem'd to say	A
Though all the world were vile and sad	W
Dance on let innocence be gay	A
Ah none but I discern'd her looks	A
When in the throng she pass'd me by	-
For love is like a ghost and brooks	A
Only the chosen seer's eye	-
And who but she could e'er divine	Y
The halo and the happy trance	A
When her bright arm reposed on mine	Y
In all the pauses of the dance	A
	-
III	-
Whilst so her beauty fed my sight	W
And whilst I lived in what she said	W
Accordant airs like all delight	W
Most sweet when noted least were play'd	W
And was it like the Pharisee	A
If I in secret bow'd my face	A
With joyful thanks that I should be	D
Not as were many but with grace	A
And fortune of well nurtured youth	Z
And days no sordid pains defile	V
And thoughts accustom'd to the truth	Z
Made capable of her fair smile	V
	-
IV	M
Charles Barton follow'd down the stair	A2
To talk with me about the Ball	V
And carp at all the people there	A2
The Churchills chiefly stirr'd his gall	V
Such were the Kriemhilds and Isondes	A
You storm'd about at Trinity	D
Nothing at heart but handsome Blondes	A
Folk say that you and Fanny Fry	-
They err Good night Here lies my course	A
Through Wilton Silence blest my ears	A
And weak at heart with vague remorse	A
A passing poignancy of tears	A
Attack'd mine eyes By pale and park	L
I rode and ever seem'd to see	D
In the transparent starry dark	L
That splendid brow of chastity	D
That soft and yet subduing light	W
At which as at the sudden moon	B2
I held my breath and thought how bright	W
That guileless beauty in its noon	B2
Compelling tribute of desires	A
Ardent as day when Sirius reigns	A
Pure as the permeating fires	A
That smoulder in the opal's veins	A
