HINT FROM VOITURE by WILLIAM SHENSTONE

Poet Analysis

First Line: LET SOL HIS ANNUAL JOURNEYS RUN
Last Line: TO MATCH -- WHAT CELIA NEVER SHOWS HIM.
Subject(s): LOVE;

Let Sol his annual journeys run,
And when the radiant task is done,
Confess, through all the globe, 'twould pose him
To match the charms that Celia shows him.
And should he boast he once had seen
As just a form, as bright a mien,
Yet must it still for ever pose him
To match -- what Celia never shows him.
