Tacer non posso e temo non adopre	A
	-
HE RECALLS HER MANY GRACES	B
	-
	-
Fain would I speak too long has silence seal'd	C
Lips that would gladly with my full heart move	D
With one consent and yield	C
Homage to her who listens from above	E
Yet how can I without thy prompting Love	E
With mortal words e'er equal things divine	F
And picture faithfully	G
The high humility whose chosen shrine	F
Was that fair prison whence she now is free	G
Which held erewhile her gentle spirit when	H
So in my conscious heart her power began	I
That instantly I ran	I
Alike o' th' year and me 'twas April then	H
From these gay meadows round sweet flowers to bind	J
Hoping rich pleasure at her eyes to find	J
	-
The walls were alabaster the roof gold	K
Ivory the doors the sapphire windows lent	L
Whence on my heart of old	K
Its earliest sigh as shall my last was sent	L
In arrowy jets of fire thence came and went	L
Arm'd messengers of love whereof to think	M
As then they were with awe	N
Though now for them with laurel crown'd I shrink	M
Of one rare diamond square without a flaw	O
High in the midst a stately throne was placed	P
Where sat the lovely lady all alone	Q
In front a column shone	Q
Of crystal and thereon each thought was traced	P
In characters so clear and quick and true	A
By turns it gladden'd me and grieved to view	A
	-
To weapons such as these sharp burning bright	R
To the green glorious banner waved above	E
'Gainst which would fail in fight	R
Mars Polypheme Apollo mighty Jove	E
While still my sorrow fresh and verdant throve	E
I stood defenceless doom'd her easy prey	A
She led me as she chose	S
Whence to escape I knew nor art nor way	A
But as a friend who haply grieves yet goes	S
Sees something still to lure his eyes and heart	T
Just so on her for whom I am in thrall	U
Sole perfect work of all	U
That graced her age unable to depart	T
With such desire my rapt regards I set	V
As soon myself and misery to forget	V
	-
On earth myself my heart in Eden dwelt	W
Lost in sweet Lethe every other care	A
As my live frame I felt	W
To marble turn watching that wonder rare	A
When old in years but youthful still in air	A
A lady briefly quietly drew nigh	E
And thus beholding me	G
With reverent aspect and admiring eye	E
Kind offer made my counsellor to be	G
My power she said is more than mortals know	X
Lighter than air I in an instant make	Y
Their hearts exult or ache	Y
I loose and bind whate'er is seen below	X
Thine eyes upon that sun as eagles' bend	Z
But to my words with willing ears attend	Z
	-
The day when she was born the stars that win	A2
Prosperity for man shone bright above	E
Their high glad homes within	A2
Each on the other smiled with gratulant love	E
Fair Venus and with gentle aspect Jove	E
The beautiful and lordly mansions held	B2
Seem'd as each adverse light	R
Throughout all heaven was darken'd and dispell'd	B2
The sun ne'er look'd upon a day so bright	R
The air and earth rejoiced the waves had rest	C2
By lake and river and o'er ocean green	D2
'Mid the enchanting scene	D2
One distant cloud alone my thought distress'd	C2
Lest sometime it might be of tears the source	E2
Unless kind Heaven should elsewhere turn its course	E2
	-
When first she enter'd on this life below	X
Which to say sooth not worthy was to hold	K
'Twas strange to see her so	X
Angelical and dear in baby mould	K
A snowy pearl she seem'd in finest gold	K
Next as she crawl'd or totter'd with short pace	F2
Wood water earth and stone	Q
Grew green and clear and soft with livelier grace	F2
The sward beneath her feet and fingers shone	Q
With flowers the champain to her bright eyes smiled	G2
At her sweet voice babbling through lips that yet	V
From Love's own fount were wet	V
The hoarse wind silent grew the tempest mild	G2
Thus clearly showing to the dull blind world	H2
How much in her was heaven's own light unfurl'd	H2
	-
At length her life's third flowery epoch won	I2
She year by year so grew in charms and worth	J2
That ne'er methinks the sun	I2
Such gracefulness and beauty saw on earth	J2
Her eyes so full of modesty and mirth	J2
Music and welcome on her words so hung	K2
That mute in her high praise	L2
Which thine alone may sound is every tongue	K2
So bright her countenance with heavenly rays	L2
Not long thy dazzled vision there may rest	C2
From this her fair and fleshly tenement	M2
Such fire through thine is sent	L
Though gentler never kindled human breast	C2
That yet I fear her sudden flight may be	G
Too soon the cause of bitter grief to thee	G
	-
This said she turn'd her to the rapid wheel	N2
Whereon she winds of mortal life the thread	O2
Too true did she reveal	N2
The doom of woe which darken'd o'er my head	O2
A few brief years flew by	E
When she for whom I so desire to die	E
By black and pitiless Death who could not slay	A
A fairer form than hers was snatch'd away	A
