MUTATIS MUTANDIS, by LESLIE PINCKNEY HILL First Line: When my lady goeth fairly Last Line: She is lovelier than ever. | |||
When my lady goeth fairly, And her countenance is rarely Lighted by the things that please her, Mien and happy mood according Are themselves the sweet rewarding Of the kindling eye that sees her. But when her course is out of measure, Or some stirring of displeasure Tints her cheeks with hues that never Fell on canvas, when from darkling, Troubled brows her eyes are sparkling, She is lovelier than ever. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TUSKEGEE by LESLIE PINCKNEY HILL A FORSAKEN GARDEN by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE THE IMPROVISATORE: THE INDUCTION TO THE SECOND FYTTE by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES WHERE IS ARCADY? by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE OUR FELLOW-WORSHIPPERS by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT A YOUNG MAN TO AN OLD WOMAN COURTING HIM by JOHN CLEVELAND EPISTLE TO HENRY WRIOTHESLEY, EARL OF SOUTHAMPTON by SAMUEL DANIEL |
