THE ANGEL IN THE HOUSE: BOOK 1. CANTO 2. PRELUDE: A DISTINCTION by COVENTRY KERSEY DIGHTON PATMORE

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE LACK OF LOVELY PRIDE, IN HER
Last Line: WHOSE CARE TO PLEASE WITH PLEASING COMES.

The lack of lovely pride, in her
Who strives to please, my pleasure numbs,
And still the maid I most prefer
Whose care to please with pleasing comes.
