WE ALL TO CONQUERING BEAUTY BOW, by

Subject(s): Beauty;hearts;love


WE all to conquering beauty bow,
It's pleasing powers admire;
But I ne'er saw that face till now,
That like yours could inspire;
Now I may say I've met with one
Amazes all mankind;
And like men gazing on the sun,
With too much light am blind.

Soft as the tender moving sighs
When longing lovers meet;
Like the divining prophets wise,
And like blown roses sweet;
Majestic, gay, reserved, yet free,
Each happy night a bride;
A mien like awful majesty,
And yet no spark of pride.

The patriarch to gain a wife,
Chaste, beautiful, and young,
Served fourteen years a painful life,
And never thought it long:
If beauty would award such care,
And life so long could stay,
Not fourteen, but four hundred year
Would seem but as one day.
