PARDON, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I shall set bracelets on your arms
Last Line: And the assent of beauty's queen.
Subject(s): Forgiveness; Clemency


I shall set bracelets on your arms,
a necklace on your shoulders' charms;
my lips upon your lips redeem

and with my fever seal your dream;
inspirit all your gaiety
with all the tipsy soul of me,

and crown the tumult of your hair
with acclamations I shall bear
from superseded, lorn trouvere.

Then I shall seek your pardon for
so poorly having sung the store
of perfumed sovereign grace serene
and the assent of beauty's queen.
