Subject(s): Courts & Courtiers; Love
While she looks on with cold indifference
Behind the granite of her rugged brows,
Our little loves to her are but pretence,
And held as light as are all lovers' vows—
She hoods herself in her eternal snows,
A stately Presence, with an icy mien.
Ah, bold his heart who crowns her deathless Queen!
