MY LADY'S PRETTY NAME, by                    
First Line: Sweetness is my lady's name
Last Line: Love's celestial treasure.
Subject(s): Honor; Names


"Sweetness" is my Lady's name,
Tribute to her graces,
Love she kindles into flame
By her warm embraces;
Sweet her smile, her laughing eyes,
Sweeter still her kisses,
And to me such name implies
Love, and all its blisses.

"Sweetness" is my Lady's name,
Homage to her paying,
Cheeks that blush rose-red, proclaim
More than tongue is saying;
Sweet her laugh, its liquid notes
Fill my soul with pleasure,
And to me such name denotes
Love's celestial treasure.
