Te shall not Will ) »** HJi' ^ TflsTt ^ mW' - IM we look on OMMrOillifctily ofshape , And mark that cheeks ' surpassing loveliness , And M » Bpon her world'tff beaoties . CHrf A 1 f * it «* n * e she looks : Were but the heart Hiajt dwells within thai faultless bosom pare , She were a woman worth a wise man ' s choice .
Statfr . ( Jftftfe . ) Hi * firmness melts . Yet but another trial Aad 1 » and his stern pride alike are mine . SraaNonu Tell me . Spirit , Dwells that bright vision on the face of earth , Or dost them mock me with a shadowy form ? Spi * ot . If she be thy choice , I'll guide thee unto her abiding place .
Stuanoer , TVeH me one thmg more ; Wears she a virgin heart ? Spirit . Mine office doth not stretch 60 far . Thy judgment Must be thine only guide . Steangkr . Again let me read o ' er her lace . No Kites
As yet have seamed her beauty . All is smooth As youth ' s first season . That expanded brow , And the deep-set eye beneath it , mark the power Of lofty Intellect , yet lacks the form Which Wisdom ' s self should wear . They are not perfect ; There is irresolution in the smile
That plays Upon her face ; Her rounded chin And dimpled mouth denote that sense there larks But grve no trace of passion , that strong spirit Which changes sense into a god , and , lacking , Leaves it a beast . There is a proud defiance
At times mounts to her lips , as though in sbdnt Of all base contact ; yet there is a look Of weakness in her eyes , which mocks the heart That would put trust in her . She cannot stand In her own strength , though she would rule the purpose Of each one whom her fascinations hold .
like birds in limed twin . She would be great . But inborn weakness cheats her of the power , And teaches her to lean on other ttiinds . And be an eohoer of other ' s thoughts , While dreamkrg that ska guides them . I could weep Tfcat soch a creature should be thus debased , — - Tkat so much swestaosa should be given to waste , A sacrifice at Vmt ^ s fatae shrine , — That wmdtM woaUm " should hot be a waiter
