RONDEAU by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "WHITE AS THE LILY, RUDDIER THAN THE ROSE"
Last Line: AND MORE THAN ORIENTAL RUBIES BRIGHT
WHITE as the Lily, ruddier than the Rose,
And more than oriental Rubies bright:
Seeing your beauty, which no rival knows,
White as the Lily, ruddier than the Rose;
My raptured heart, aye, watches to disclose
How lovers may be taught to serve aright:
White as the Lily, ruddier than the Rose:
And more than oriental Rubies bright.
