YOUTH TO PALLAS by MAURICE DU PLESSYS

First Line: PALLAS, WHOSE CHILL BREAST BEARS A SHIELD ABOVE
Last Line: AND I WILL SHRINE YOUR WORSHIP IN MY AGE.
Subject(s): YOUTH;
Pallas, whose chill breast bears a shield above,
Pretends her mirth will be our pleasure's gage:
Pallas! leave me my years of youth for love
And I will shrine your worship in my age.
