For know, Azile, I have dearly paid For thee, if of thee I am e'er possest; Possess me then with thy prevailing aid, And aid to that shore that must make me blest: There shall I sing encomions to thy praise, And praise the lustre of thy noble spirit, When ravish't by those Epithalmian lays Of Nymphs, thou shalt their Nymph-like grace inherit, And Hymen in a saffron veil shall come, O'er a fair field bestrew'd with margerum. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HIS MOTHER'S SERVICE TO OUR LADY by FRANCOIS VILLON TO MARY by GEORGE GORDON BYRON FRAGMENTS OF A POEM ON THE EXCELLENCE OF CHRISTIANITY by JAMES HAY BEATTIE THE SWORD OF CASTRUCCIO CASTRACANI by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING A LAST DESIRE by ROSE M.
