92 Oft on the dappled turf at ease I sit and play with similes, Loose types of things through all degrees, 10 And many a fond and idle name I give to thee, for praise or blame As is the humour of the game, 15 A nun demure, of lowly port; Or sprightly maiden, of Love's court, Of all temptations; A queen in crown of rubies drest; A little Cyclops, with one eye That thought comes next-and instantly The shape will vanish, and behold! I see thee glittering from afar- In heaven above thee! Yet like a star, with glittering crest, Who shall reprove thee! |
