OBSERVATIONS IN THE ART OF ENGLISH POESY: 29, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Just beguiler
Last Line: Jet not still secure.
Subject(s): Virtue; Love


Just beguiler,
Kindest love, yet only chastest,
Royal in thy smooth denials,
Frowning or demurely smiling,
Still my pure delight.

Let me view thee
With thoughts and with eyes affected,
And if then the flames do murmur,
Quench them with thy virtue, charm them
With thy stormy brows.

Heav'n so cheerful
Laughs not ever, hoary winter
Knows his season; even the freshest
Summer morns from angry thunder
Jet not still secure.
