MADAME D'ALBERT'S [OR D'ALBRET'S] LAUGH, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Yes! That fair neck, too beautiful by half
Last Line: But only that sweet laugh wherewith she slays me.
Subject(s): Beauty; Love; Women


YES! that fair neck, too beautiful by half,
Those eyes, that voice, that bloom, all do her honor;
Yet, after all, that little giddy laugh
Is what, in my mind, sits the best upon her.

Good God! 'twould make the very streets and ways,
Through which she passes, burst into a pleasure!
Did melancholy come to mar my days
And kill me in the lap of too much leisure,
No spell were wanting, from the dead to raise me,
But only that sweet laugh wherewith she slays me.
