HE COMPLAINS OF THE BEAUTY OF WOMEN, by                    
First Line: What has thy daughter done
Last Line: Are her deep scars?
Subject(s): Beauty


What has Thy daughter done,
Lord of the Seven Stars,
That she should bear bright arrows?
One time my heart was one.
Her beauty that naught mars,
Marker of Falling Sparrows,
Has put past peace to run.
In how many other marrows
Are her deep scars?
