AD IMPUDENTISSIMAM, by                    
First Line: "audacious maid, when thee I meet"
Last Line: But thought and speech both fail me / in wonder at thy cheek
Subject(s): Wit & Humor


AUDACIOUS maid, when thee I meet
I fain would offer praise,
Compare thy dancing eyes of blue
To lakes in summer days;

Or else invent some golden name
For the glory of thy hair,
Liken thy lips to an opening rose,
Thy throat to a lily fair.

Yet more poetic I'd become
If I, alas! might speak;
But thought and speech both fail me
In wonder at thy cheek.
