TO DELIA: 44, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Drawn with th' attractive virtue of her eyes
Last Line: And muse-foe mars abroad far fostered be.
Subject(s): Beauty; Love; Youth


Drawn with th' attractive virtue of her eyes,
My touched heart turns it to that happy coast,
My joyful North, where all my fortune lies,
The level of my hopes desired most;
There where my Delia, fairer than the sun,
Decked with her youth whereon the world smileth,
Joys in that honor which her beauty won,
Th' eternal volume which her fame compileth.
Flourish, fair Albion, glory of the North,
Neptune's darling, held between his arms,
Divided from the world as better worth,
Kept for himself, defended from all harms.
Still let disarmed peace deck her and thee,
And muse-foe Mars abroad far fostered be.
