    'Tis Usance That, When Princes Deign

    ? Tis said that , when God ' s sun pourtrays The " human face divine , "

    Deep charactersmost hidden traits From inwards , outwards shine ; And herebeneath the surface charms ,

    The loveliness , of earth , Lies deep below the beauty warm ,

    The soul ' s divinest worth . No colour needs where all is light .

    O artist high and rare ! ¦ W With hat cour sun tl - work painter ' s highest fli ? ght may compare

    For here , by truth and light is wrought A face of human saint ;

    This fair , pale brow , so clear with thought _. These eyes—what brush could paint ?

    _j And yet , though all its spell may own , Its beauty all may see

    , It keeps one charm for me alone , One meaning but for me !

    Yes ! gazing long on these dear eyes , They answer back to mine ;

    They grant me that which most I prize , With love for me they shine I

    In truth , a favour'd courtier I ! With rapture sweet and keen ,

    I hail this . mark of favour high , This portrait of my Queen .

    The carte that bears so dear a face , Where charms and worth combine ,

    Is framedin beauty ' s splendid case , And " set , in brilliants " fine ! Scuhtze Wilson
